Old Forester Single Barrel 100 Proof Selection I-8 is a unique, one-of-a-kind bourbon pulled from an individual barrel—meaning no two bottles are ever exactly the same. Bottled at 100 proof, this expression delivers the signature Old Forester profile with added depth, character, and individuality that only a single barrel selection can provide.

Selections like “I-8” often refer to specific warehouse locations or barrel placements, which can influence how the bourbon matures. These variations are part of what makes single barrel picks highly sought after—each one offers its own distinct take on a classic Kentucky bourbon.

Why Buy Old Forester Single Barrel 100 Proof Selection I-8

This is where everyday bourbon turns into something collectible. Single barrel picks are limited by nature, and once a barrel is gone, it’s gone.

At 100 proof, this strikes a strong balance between bold flavor and drinkability. It’s a favorite among bourbon enthusiasts who want something more unique than standard shelf offerings without stepping into higher proof territory.

If you’re looking for a bottle with individuality, story, and limited availability, this is it.
