Step back to the era when the Volstead Act reshaped America's drinking landscape in 1920. Amid nationwide Prohibition, just six Kentucky distillers received special permission to bottle bourbon strictly for medicine. Old Forester seized one such rare allowance, keeping production alive right on Louisville's legendary Whiskey Row. This standout spirit stands alone as the sole bourbon from the same ownership offered steadily before, through, and beyond those dry years.

Regulations back then demanded every drop bottled at exactly 100 proof. Starting from a barrel entry of 100 proof, natural evaporation over time pushed strength to around 115 proof. Old Forester Whiskey Row 1920 captures that intense Prohibition-era essence today at 115 proof—or 57.5% ABV—in a 750 ml bottle. It's a direct nod to the bold profile drinkers might have savored nearly a century ago under medicinal labels.

From Kentucky's heartland in the United States, this American whisky embodies resilience and history in every pour. Picture it fueling conversations about outlaws, speakeasies, and the craft that defied the odds.
