A little off topic but I have always had a bias for Old Forester because of a story a WW2 Marine Raider told me. As they battled for Mt. Yaetake on Okinawa in 1945 they got news that President Roosevelt had died. During a lull in the fighting the CO of A/1/4th Marines (Clint Eastment) gathered his runners and section leaders and pulled out a bottle of Old Forester to toast the President. Every year after that Eastment and the other survivors of that toast always drank Old Forester on April 12.
Cool story. Old Forester was able to stay open during prohibition due to being 'medicinal bourbon'.
