LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Old Forester announced its newest bourbon release Wednesday, an homage to historic Whiskey Row in downtown Louisville.

The Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey produced by the Brown–Forman Corporation released a new offering from its Whiskey Row Series, called 1924, a 10-year-old age-stated bourbon that’s 100 proof.

The fifth installment of the Whiskey Row Series is available nationwide. According to a news release Wednesday, the recipe features a new mash bill 79% corn, 11% rye and 10% malted barley.

Old Forester said the bottle marks an important point in its 153-year history. According to a news release, more than 200 distilleries were in Kentucky were forced to close during Prohibition. But Old Forester continued operations because the federal government issued it one of six permits to bottle existing whiskey stocks as medicine.

Old Forester acquired barrels from closed distillers with different mash bills and bottled that liquid as Old Forester in 1924. The new release commemorates that moment 100 years ago.

“We are honored to commemorate this historical milestone with a new featured mash bill and a beautiful 10-year age statement,” Master Taster Melissa Rift said in a news release. “It allows whisky lovers to taste just how dynamic our brand can be while staying rooted in our rich history.”

The bottle is available nationwide at participating retailers and at Old Forester Distilling Co. for $115. For more information please visit https://www.oldforester.com/
