I agree with y’all’s love for OF. I have not had the 117, The President’s Choice and only one pour of the BB but, I would have to put the King Ranch in the top 10. I love the mesquite flavor.
Personally, I like the 1897 better than the 1920. I did my own blind test and was shocked when 1897 beat out the 1920. Another alternative to the 1920 is Knob Creek single barrel.
You’ve highlighted the frustrating thing about Old Forester…most of their limited stuff is only available in one market. Their everyday stuff is as good or better than anyone’s though.
I've tried 4 different Barrel Strength picks, and 3 of them have been trash. Just rediculously hot and not much flavor. The 3 i didnt like were from warehouses I, G, and H. The only one I've thought was good (and quite impressive) was the warehouse K. I noticed that almost all of your picks are warehouse K. Whats up with that? Whats going on with Warehouse K???
The ones I’ve had are great. Have a limit to what I’ll spend for any sprit. I’ve spent 150. and some change but that’s as high I will pay. I have a 15 year macallan that was 150. Have a sixteen year that my wife picked up for 80.
Is there a website that tells all about the Presidents Choice batch releases? I'd like to dive into it. I signed up for the release emails but was too late on the last one. Thx guys, great vid as always 👍🥃
Sadly I don't know of one if there is. You can look for some old press releases/videos that Jackie did about them. But besides that my friend sadly I don't.
While conceding that the 117 Series, the Birthday Bourdon, and the President’s Choice bottles are probably amazing (have never been fortunate to have any of them) and only leave 7 spots left in a top-10, and the SB-BP (both bourbon and rye) are also going to take 2 of the top spots, I cannot believe that 1897 isn’t in the top 10. Plus, anyone that cannot appreciate the 100 rye as the amazing bottle it is is automatically suspect to me.
The 1920 and 1910 smash the 100 proof offering
Work next to the distillery try to go often to buy these
NW South Carolina. I haven't seen most of these.
Can't go wrong with Old Forester👍🏆

OF 86, 100, 1910, 1920 and Rye are all great bottles
Michter’s rye >>>>>>Sazerac rye
Old Forester Single Barrels just don't seem to show up around here at all, 100 or BP.
OF 100 even being in the top 10 is wrong, only OF I dont like. Putting it over 1910 is blasphemy.
y'all are insane....1910 is friggin incredible. And everyone I have spoken with that have tried it are in agreement
Wow, OF 100 above 1910🤔. 1910 should be top 5. Love Barrel Strength and OF Rye at #2 and #3 and Pres Choice at #1.
Yeah I can’t get 75% of those here…
List is garbage…1910 easy Top 5
Good list. Not sure about OF 100 above 1910 though. :)

Really surprised 100 was above 1910. I prefer 1910 to 100 and 1920.

Great list. Haven't had some of these simply because of availability, but the 1920 and Rye100 are always on the shelf and some of my favorites.

I think King of Kentucky should be someplace on this list. It is not branded OF, but from the same folks and distillery.
Those 100 proof MTSes 🤤🤤
lol BIN entire lot
The 100, 1910, and 1920 are definitely the top three. Order of preference of those depends on the individual. Cheers guys👏🇺🇸🥃

Definitely figured Presidents Choice would be #1. Not too shocking there. Cheers
seems to me ol fo should turn the 1897 into an age stated 11 to 12 year blend and the bottled in bond into a 8 to 10 year blend.that would sell
I love 1920. It drinks way below it’s actually proof. Not been able to find many of the single barrels in my area.
I would love to get my hands on a single barrel, barrel proof Rye and bourbon. Where do I need to go to find a bottle?
Just saw this. I am almost 100% aligned. I love the video. I guess I should be clear based on the ones I have.
I miss the single barrel 90 proofs……100 is good though
How do you guys rank the OF 150th Aniv. Batches 1/2/3? I was surprised none made the top 10 since they are sitting on the shelf in the back.
I can’t remember. We did a review on those a long time ago.
Love everything Old Forester. My favorite is OF Single Barrel Barrel Strength. Currently have 2 bottles, one is 131.1 proof and one is 131.3 proof. 🥃
I'm surprised 150th anniversary didn't make the list.
We didn't put it on the list because it was a limited series that only came out once. If they did multiples then we would have added it.
I can't keep giving OF SiBBP a chance. I see them alot, but everyone I had was just so hot and muted.
Totally get it.
I would LOVE to find the single barrel 100 proof but ive never seen one.
They are becoming harder and harder to find.

Dave is always suspect at this point lol.
Dustin I said it and I stand by it!!!!hahaha
@@bourbonkingdom OF 100 Rye is just so objectively good, that if someone does not like it I wonder what their experience in life is like.
The 100 Rye has become one of my go tos - shocking, as I’m a bit of a snob for a newb. It is so good!
Great video. Think doing the rankings blind would be an idea to consider in the future.
That southern apple pie is 🔥
IYKYK
The 100 one is the only old forester I’ve tasted so far and I love the taste. It has such a nice taste!
I totally agree!
Trade you something for a presidents choice….
I've got a barrel 25 and a barrel 27. I'd consider trading you 1. What do you have to trade?
Love OF too! I think this video would have been even more fun if you guys ranked them in a blind! You should do that sometime!
@Maggie Mathias Derr we thought about it but we were three reviews in and just couldn't make it happen lol.
