The Dividend Bourbon Club, based in York, PA, is a group of bourbon fans brought together by a shared love for this unique spirit. Our name, “Dividend,” reflects our practice of extending our tastings with an extra pour or an additional sample – our version of sharing ‘dividends.’ It’s a nod to our belief that bourbon is best appreciated when shared among friends, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie.

We meet regularly to explore a wide array of bourbons and whiskeys, enjoying the diversity of tastes, aromas, and stories that each bottle brings. Through these shared experiences, we journey together through the rich and varied landscape of bourbon/whiskey, deepening our appreciation for this iconic American spirit.

The Pick
On November 2nd, 2023, the Dividend Bourbon Club was led by Chris Morris, Brown-Forman’s Master Distiller Emeritus, during our visit to the Old Forester Distillery. This exceptional opportunity included an informative private tour, culminating in a memorable barrel selection experience for our Old Forester Single Barrel Strength.

With Chris Morris’ expert guidance, we embarked on a tasting straight from the barrel, sampling from three distinct barrels. Each offered a unique expression of Old Forester’s renowned bourbon craftsmanship.

The barrel we selected was barreled on 5/10/19 and aged in Warehouse I on the fifth floor. At its bottling, it is an impressive 131 proof.

We proudly present the Dividend Bourbon Club’s exclusive bottle pick: the 131-proof Old Forester Single Barrel Strength from Warehouse I. This selection reflects not only our club’s commitment to exceptional bourbon but also a tribute to the invaluable insights and expertise shared by Chris Morris and the rich history of Brown Forman and Old Forester.
