On October 22nd. 1910, a fire on the bottling line halted production of Old Forester. Mature whisky ready to be bottled, instead was stored in a secondary barrel. What emerged was a delightful whisky, remarkable enough to become an entirely new expressions- Old Fine Whisky. Today mimicking this historic bottling, this unique expression of Old Forester has undergone a second barreling, granting it exceptional character, a smooth and sweet flavor and a clean, crisp finish. Entering the second barrel at a low 100 proof allows more of the sweet wood sugars to dissolve into the whiskey. 1910 Old Fine Whiskey is the fourth and final expression of the Whiskey Row Series, presented at 93 proof.

The batch is made up of six production dates that were aged in six different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker's “Kentucky Tea Batch” is as follows: 2% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse 5, 1% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse X, 1% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse D, 12% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 1, 24% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q, 14% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse Q, 46% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse Z. This batch was pulled on a hot and humid day in July. The color of this liquid is golden amber, and you embrace the dark, sweet vanilla aroma right away. With just one taste, your mouth is filled with rich and sweet flavors of vanilla. The lingering finish isn't overpowering, so soon after you'll want another sip. I made myself a Kentucky Tea with Kentucky Tea Batch, and it brought back memories of my dad sitting at his own kitchen table enjoying his Kentucky Tea with supper.
