Old Forester Barrel Proof Single Barrel Rye is a highly anticipated and extremely limited expression from the historic Old Forester Distilling Company in Louisville, Kentucky. Released for the first time in the brand's 150-year history, this whiskey is bottled unfiltered at barrel strength directly from a single barrel, making each bottle a unique expression with its own proof and tasting profile.
The whiskey opens with a dessert-forward aroma of creamy vanilla and lemon custard alongside rich caramel and dark brown sugar. On the palate it is full-bodied with ripe orchard fruit, subtle cinnamon stick, dried dill, and hazelnut. The finish is lengthy and spice-driven, with notes of black pepper, green anisette, and crisp mint. Because this is a single barrel release at barrel strength, proof will vary from bottle to bottle.
This expression is available nationwide in limited quantities and is subject to a one-bottle purchase limit per member.
