LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 2025 – Old Forester Distilling Co. today announced the national release of its new Old Forester Cocktail Cherries, a premium addition designed to complement the brand's distinguished portfolio of American whiskeys.

These cherries offer a sophisticated garnish, bringing the quality and heritage of Old Forester directly to home bars across the country. They are crafted from amarena-style cherries in a velvety bourbon-infused syrup.

Each cherry is steeped in a luxurious syrup, providing a delightful burst of sweetness and a hint of classic bourbon character, ensuring a truly elevated drinking experience. The cherries join an existing line-up of Old Forester Cocktail Provisions, including bitters and cocktail syrups.

"For over 154 years, Old Forester has been synonymous with quality and the art of American whisky," Master Taster Melissa Rift said. "Our new Cocktail Cherries are a natural extension of that commitment, providing enthusiasts with the finest ingredient to complete their Old Forester cocktails."

The cherries, retailing for $19.99, are available nationally at select retailers and liquor stores. They are also sold at Old Forester Distillery on Main Street in Louisville and via Bourbon Barrel Foods (bourbonbarrelfoods.com).
