Both drink recipes reflect the malt characteristics usually neglected in other whiskeys. I feel most bourbons and ryes neglect malt in their mash. I love the weighted body and dark tones that malt delivers, while the proof on the rye and bourbon illicit high tones.

I’ve been using the Old Forester 100 proof bourbon for about 4 years now as the featured bourbon of The Laundry Room. We’re a cocktail house and rarely serve neat or on the rocks. When the guest does call for neat/rocks, it’s always a nice surprise to them.

If you can’t make it to Commonwealth, visit any of the below retailers to pick up a bottle of Old Forester to try out the recipe at home!
