Overview
Old Forester President’s Choice is a limited release family within the Old Forester portfolio. It is positioned as a highly selected whiskey line, including bourbon and rye releases chosen from special barrels or stocks.
The brand carries prestige because the President’s Choice name suggests a top-tier selection from Brown-Forman’s Old Forester inventory. It is generally more limited than core Old Forester expressions and is especially relevant for collectors and enthusiasts.
