Fans of Old Forester eagerly await its limited-edition expressions. They were probably excited to learn that the iconic Kentucky-based brand announced the relaunch of one of its most popular annual releases: Old Forester 1910 Extra Extra Old.

Part of its 117 Series of whiskeys, Old Forester 1910 Extra Extra Old gets its name because, after its initial maturation, this double-barreled bourbon is matured for an extra 24 months in a heavily charred secondary oak barrel. First released in spring 2021, this expression was originally an experimental whiskey made by aging 1910 Old Fine Whisky for an extra finishing period. The distillers liked the results enough to bottle it, and, clearly, so did Old Forester drinkers.

According to the brand, it all begins with a nose of sticky toffee pudding and toasted hazelnut. The palate is known for its velvety, silky mouthfeel and notes of sweet almond, toasted oak, and baking spices. The finish combines milk chocolate, sweet oak, and cinnamon.

“This bourbon exemplifies our innovative spirit at Old Forester by taking something great and making it even better. The additional maturation leveraged to produce this release unlocks incredibly robust and distinctive flavor,” Assistant Master Distiller Caleb Trigo says.

Colorado-based Breckenridge Distillery has just released their Peach Whiskey, the second flavored expression this year following the recent launch of its Honey Whiskey over the summer.

The whiskey is made using real peaches from Palisade, the Western Slope town Colorado treats as its unofficial peach capital and a genuine point of state pride during late summer harvest season.

Nashville, Indiana-based Hard Truth Distilling is taking two of its most decorated ryes and smashing them together into one bottle.

The new Master Distiller’s Reserve Dark Roast Rye is a 50/50 blend of the distillery’s Chocolate Malt Rye and Caramel Malt Rye, two mash bills that have individually racked up gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition since Hard Truth started experimenting with roasted malts back in 2018.

Build an award-winning bar cart with these 12 top spirits

For me, a solid liquor cabinet holds the absolute basics— vodka, whiskey, gin, tequila, bitters, and a few home bar essentials for crafting cocktails. But my less-than-impressive shelf had a fundamental flaw—I focused on variety instead of craftsmanship, barely looking beyond the label. So I amassed a dozen award-winning spirits to see if I could taste the difference.

The results? I learned that much of what I blamed on my technique was actually due to my spirits’ quality. With better bottles in hand, straight pours brought on deeper complexity, and cocktails achieved effortless balance, without a single skill set shift.
