Old Forester Re-Releases The 117 Series: 1910 Extra Extra Old Bourbon
Old Forester has announced the return of The 117 Series: 1910 Extra Extra Old, a limited edition whisky originally released in December 2022.
Old Forester The 117 Series: Extra Extra Old is a double barreled bourbon aged in a second, heavily charred oak barrel. It’s created from the same base spirit as Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky, but spends extra time in the secondary barrel – 24 months instead of 6-9 months – hence the name “Extra Extra Old.”
Old Forester The 117 Series: Extra Extra Old (Batch 002) is bottled at 93 proof (46.5% ABV) and described as having aromas of “sticky toffee pudding with toasted hazelnut, complimented by a buttery silky texture.” The palate has notes of “sweet almond and toasted oak with balanced baking spice and a velvety mouthfeel.” It concludes with “milk chocolate, sweet oak, and warm cinnamon spice” on the finish.
The 117 Series: Extra 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 Extra Old carries a suggested retail price of $64.99 for a 375 mL bottle.
