Review #9 - Old Forester 1920. Old Forester 1920, 115 Proof | 57.5% ABV. Ahh prohibition. A dark time in every whiskey lovers history. On January 17th, 1920 the United States passed the 18th Amendment banning alcoholic beverages.
The 100 proof has a hint of ripe banana along with toffee and powdered sugar notes. It has a surprisingly good finish for being like $25. And it makes an exceptional old fashioned! Proof: 86.
