Old Forester Tasting & Pairing

Chris Hockenberry leads another session of "ICC Aged Barrel Spirits" Member Group, this time centered on Old Forester Distillery. This evening is built around understanding the distillery through its flavor—what defines it, how it’s made, and how it shows up in the glass. Hosted in the Parlor Room, the focus stays on education first, with the option to explore further through pours and pairings.

• Breakdown of Old Forester’s profile, process, and history
• Discussion of tasting notes and how to identify them
• Optional bourbon pours and cocktail offerings available
