The Background
Dating back to 1964, the President’s Choice series was born when Old Forester’s president personally selected single barrels as gifts—a tradition revived recently to honor the brand’s heritage. Now for the first time, the rye variant joins the lineup, with nationwide release and extremely limited distribution. Each barrel is meticulously chosen by the Master Taster and Assistant Master Distiller to deliver the highest quality. Whisky Advocate+1
