In the Chattanooga area, I rarely see any offerings from Old Forester other than the normal line up of 1910, 1920, etc… Occasionally I have found a few of the black label Old Forester Single Barrel bottles that are proofed down and really enjoyed them. Recently, I was able to find a few bottles of the blue label Old Forester Single Barrel Barrel Strength and was pleasantly surprised at how good this bottle is. Being a single barrel, the flavor profiles can vary between picks. But if you can find one of these at a decent price, I would highly recommend picking it up.
