Old Forester 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Rye Whisky

Old Forester 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Rye Whisky

In 1870, Old Forester’s founder George Garvin Brown revolutionized the industry by sealing Bourbon in a glass bottle for the first time. Five generations and nearly 150 years later, Old Forester introduces their first Kentucky Straight Rye Whisky from The First Bottled Bourbon.
Created by Master Distiller Chris Morris and Master Taster Jackie Zykan after a historic recipe, acquired in 1940 by Owsley Brown I, Old Forester Rye features a mash bill of 65% Rye, 20% Malted Barley, and 15% Corn.

    Nose:    Rich brown sugar and magnolia blossom, with hints of soft sassafras and candied lemon.

    Taste:    Spice awakens immediately leading with sharp black pepper and cinnamon stick, rounding out with notes of dried dill and baked apple.

    Finish:   Allspice and peppercorn introduce a loyal and dry finish which ignites with pine, anise, and bright lemon zest.
