Old Forester Re-Releases the 117 Series 1910 Extra Old Bourbon
Old Forester has announced the return of The 117 Series: 1910 Extra Old, a limited edition whisky originally released in February 2022.
Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky is a double barreled bourbon aged in a second, custom-made, heavily charred barrel for between six and nine months. The 117 Series: 1910 Extra Old is Old Forester’s standard 1910 Old Fine Whisky that has been left to age 18 months in a secondary barrel – hence the name “extra old.” This process extracted significantly more of the heavily charred barrel influence, resulting in a bourbon with pronounced caramel notes.
Old Forester The 117 Series: 1910 Extra Old is bottled at 93 proof (46.5% ABV) and described as having aromas of “chocolate covered cherries, burnt caramel, and graham cracker, with subtle notes of barrel smoke and creamy butterscotch.” The palate is “balanced and buttery with pops of spiced pear and apple, as notes of chocolate and cinnamon graham cracker persist.” It concludes with “warm spiced cinnamon, apple skin, and lightly charred oak creating a long and flavorful finish.”
The 117 Series: 1910 Extra Old is available now in limited quantities via the Old Forester Distilling Co. retail shop, select Kentucky retailers, and the Old Forester online shop in select states. The 117 Series: 1910 Extra Old carries a suggested retail price of $64.99 for a 375 mL bottle.
