Old Forester Launches The 117 Series: Bottled in Bond Rye
Old Forester has released the latest expression in The 117 Series: Bottled in Bond Rye, the first Bottled in Bond Rye Whisky crafted by Old Forester.
The 1897 Bottled in Bond Act required that each bottling be composed of barrels filled during a single distillation season. Old Forester The 117 Series: Bottled in Bond Rye was distilled in the spring of 2015 and is bottled at 50% ABV.
Old Forester The 117 Series: Bottled in Bond Rye is described as having aromas of “sweet honeysuckle and candied lemon with hints of ginger root and thick molasses.” The palate exhibits notes of “intense spice immediately followed by charred oak, freshly cracked pepper, and cooked pear.” It concludes with a “quick and dry finish with notes of bright citrus, lemongrass, and coriander.”
Old Forester The 117 Series: Bottled in Bond Rye is now available in limited quantities via the Old Forester Distilling Co. retail shop, the Old Forester online shop, and at select Kentucky retailers for a suggested retail price of $64.99 for a 375 mL bottle.
