Old Forester Spring 1993 12 Years 2005 Birthday Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 48.0% Vol. - 5th release of a first-class Bourbon Whiskey from the limited Birthday Edition of Brown-Forman
A rare vintage 1993 12 Years old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey with 48.0% Vol. and the 5th release from the year 2005 of the limited Birthday Edition of the Brown-Forman Distillery in Kentucky. For this bourbon, they used a different malted barley supplier. The new barley produced a slightly lighter bodied spirit than usual. Barrels were stored on the 7 th floor of Warehouse H, where they were exposed to extremely warm temperatures and dry conditions. The lighter bodied spirit and warehouse condition resulted in a higher than average Angel s Share loss that concentrated the rich toasted and charred oak notes.
A favorite among critics, Old Forester Birthday Bourbon has taken home gold from numerous tasting competitions including a gold medal in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The 2007 expression was also named American Whiskey of the Year at WhiskyFest New York.
Among connoisseurs and collectors, the whiskeys from Brown-Forman s Birthday Collection are regarded worldwide as absolutely first-class whiskeys and are now among the coveted Straight Bourbon whiskeys. A very special piece of whiskey history, not to be found in Europe at all and a special Kentucky Straight Bourbon whiskey for collectors, connoisseurs and lovers of first-class Bourbon whiskeys which was awarded 98 points by the wine enthusiast.
