Floor 8 sits near the top of the rick house, where temperature swings are the most extreme, accelerating wood extraction and producing a more intensely flavored, oak-forward barrel.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld Forester Distillery Selections are individual single barrels chosen by the Old Forester distillery team — a step above the standard retail single barrel program. The Warehouse K Floor 8 barrel reflects the intense heat cycling of an upper-floor rick house position: deep caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak from aggressive wood interaction, with the concentrated intensity of natural barrel proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla with hints of dark cherry and baking spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full and concentrated at barrel strength — butterscotch, dark fruit, cinnamon, and assertive oak tannins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warm, and oak-forward with lingering vanilla and spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Forester Distillery, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProgram:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distillery Selection Single Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warehouse K, Floor 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 132.4 (66.2% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uncut, unfiltered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/old-forester\"\u003eOld Forester\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon\u003c\/a\u003e at Wooden Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is an Old Forester Distillery Selection?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndividual single barrels hand-selected and bottled directly by the Old Forester distillery team — distinct from standard retail single barrel picks.
