OLD FORESTER 1910
OLD FINE WHISKY
In the fall of 1910, there was a fire at a
Kentucky distillery. Some of the ricks and
casks were destroyed, so they had to find
a new place to store the spirits and new
barrels to keep them in. The whiskey was
put aside and more or less forgotten. When
they discovered it a few months later, the
whiskey tasted different because of the
extra aging and re-barreling. They made
a special bottle and label, calling the new
product Old Fine Whisky.
The distiller revived this historic vintage
in 2018 with Old Forester's 1910 Old Fine
Whisky, which honors their unique history.
They take aged whiskey and re-barrel it in
heavily charred casks, where it matures for
another seven to nine months. The result is
a fine spirit that has as much flavor as the
original, over 100 years ago.

WILD TURKEY 101
BOURBON
Wild Turkey can trace its roots back to
1869 when the Ripy Brothers opened
a distillery on Wild Turkey Hill near
Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, where the
company is still based today. Clearly, they
know a thing or two about tradition. The
Ripys produced bourbon and sold it to
various wholesalers who bottled it under
their own brands.
Austin Nichols was one of these men.
Wild Turkey was named in 1940 at a wild
turkey hunt. One of Nichols' employees,
Thomas McCarthy, brought sample bottles
to share with his buddies. They liked it so
much that, afterward, they would often
ask: "Can we have some more of that wild
turkey bourbon?" Today, a lot of people
feel the same way.
