Old Forester 117 Series High Angels Share Rye

Description

Old Forester 117 Series High Angels Share Rye is a unique, small-batch Kentucky Straight Rye Whisky that captures the effects of heat-cycled warehouse aging. Due to Old Foresters distinct maturation environment, some barrels experience higher-than-average evaporative loss, concentrating their flavors into an exceptionally bold and complex rye.

Bottled at a powerful 110 proof (55% ABV), this rye whisky delivers an intense depth of character, with a rich, spicy profile and a long, lingering finish. Released in March 2026, this small-batch edition is a must-have for rye enthusiasts and collectors.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Deep caramel, toasted rye spice, and oak char
• Taste: Bold cinnamon, black pepper, dark chocolate, and vanilla bean
• Finish: Long and warm with lingering spice, dried fruit, and oak tannins

How to Enjoy:

• Neat for the full-bodied experience
• With a few drops of water to enhance its complex spice and sweetness
• On the rocks for a slightly mellowed sip
• In a high-proof rye cocktail like a Manhattan or Sazerac
