Old Forester Distilling Co. announces the release of their newest installment Old Forester 117 Series Whisky – Whiskey Row Fire.

On July 7, 2015, a four-alarm fire ravaged the buildings on historic Whiskey Row in downtown Louisville. Teams of brave Louisville first responders were able to contain and extinguish the catastrophe, preserving the site for the Old Forester Distillery at 117/119 West Main. The block is now home to restaurants, bars, a hotel and other businesses – and has become a tourist destination.

In 2020, men and women of Louisville Fire, many of whom fought the blaze, selected eight single barrels from a lot filled the same day they extinguished the fire. All 8 barrels sold out in two days and proceeds were donated to the Louisville Firefighter Disaster Fund. The Old Forester 117 Series Whisky is a limited-expression lineup that debuted in Spring 2021. Old Forester Whiskey Row Fire is bottled at 100 proof.
