Old Forester Barrel Strength Rye 2024 Edition

Since the release of Old Forester Rye in 2019, fans of the brand have been clamoring to try it at barrel strength, and weʼre excited to deliver. For the first time in the brandʼs 150 year history, Old Forester is elated to present this new expression, unfiltered, as a single barrel at barrel strength. As such, each barrel will have it’s own unique tasting notes and various proofs – but all distinctly Old Forester Rye. This expression, although extremely limited, will be available nationwide though not through Old Foresterʼs private By the Barrel program.

TASTING NOTES

Aroma: Dessert forward, creamy vanilla and lemon custard, alongside rich caramel and dark brown sugar.

Taste: Full-bodied with a base of ripe orchard fruit, subtle cinnamon stick, dried dill, and hazelnut.

Finish: Lengthy and spice driven, with peripheral black pepper and unpinnings of green anisette and crisp mint.
