Old Forester is extending its Whiskey Row series to a fifth landmark expression - the Old Forester 1924 10 Year Old. But what's more exciting is that this will be a brand new mashbill for Old Forest!

The new 1924 expression tells us that "In 1924, Owsley Brown took barrels of whiskey with different mash bills in a warehouse on Howard Street in Louisville, KY and bottled them as Old Forest. This 10-year-old expression honors the 100th anniversary of this occasion. 

It will feature a new mashbill of 79% corn, 11% rye and 10% malted barley, which is a move away from the standard Old Forester mashbill of 72% corn and 18% rye. On top of that, it'll be the brand's oldest flagship bottling to date.
