We apparently like Warehouse "H" this is the second time we picked a barrel from that warehouse and it is an amazing one!  The heating cycle is different in this warehouse, the lower floors are hotter, leading to a more intense maturation process than expected for barrels stored at ground level.  This is significant because it means barrels on the first floor might develop richer, more concentrated flavors—potentially rivaling those from upper floors in traditionally aged warehouses.

Their limited 117 Series featured a Warehouse H release. 
Warehouse H at Old Forester is one of the key aging warehouses for the brand's bourbons. 

"Warehouse H is symbolic of Old Forester’s growth after WWII. Construction on the brick warehouse began in 1946, housing 50,000 barrels. The four story, eight chamber warehouse was designed to be heat cycled in the winter months when temperatures dropped below 60 degrees and the maturation process ceased. Warehouse H is unusual in its heat cycling profile with the 1st floor sometimes hitting the highest temperatures." - Old Forester
