Warming Up for KBF 2025 with Old Forester 100 proof

We're getting ready for the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and what better way to prep than with a bottle of Old Forester 100 Proof? In this pre-trip pour, Dave and Helen share their thoughts on the bottle, the quirky screw-top, and what it feels like to sip a bourbon that’s harder to find back home in Australia.

They also share updates on what they're excited about for the trip, how they’re preparing their palates, and the little joys of bourbon banter before a big adventure. If you’ve ever pre-gamed a holiday with your favourite bottle, this episode will hit just right.
