WOODFORD VS. OLD FORESTER

Get ready for two great bourbons

Woodford Reserve and Old Forester are both premium Kentucky bourbons that share the same mash bill, but differ significantly in production, aging, and flavor profiles. 

Spend an hour discovering how Woodford Double Oaked and Old Forester 1920 show two distinctive sides of Kentucky bourbon.

Purple Cork takes care of the planning, guest experience, shipping support, and live production around every Woodford vs. Old Forester experience.

Meet Woodford and Old Forester

A guided bourbon comparison rooted in sweet oak, Prohibition proof, and inside stories from bourbon experts, the Barrel Proof Duo.

Woodford Double Oaked layers a second toasted barrel into a 90.4-proof bourbon, while Old Forester 1920 brings a 115-proof style tied to the brand’s Prohibition-era medicinal whiskey story.

Guests get a guided side-by-side tasting experience from the Purple Cork experts, with enough context for bourbon aficionados and newcomers alike.
