Old Forester Releases Rye Single Barrel Nationwide
Old Forester today launched its Old Forester Rye Single Barrel, making this what’s described as “the first innovation of this rye recipe since the original 100 proof release.” Presented unfiltered and at barrel strength, the new product is available nationwide and at the distillery in Kentucky itself in limited quantities. It clocks in at 124 proof.
An official statement from Old Forester/Brown-Forman said that since the release of the brand’s rye in 2019, there has been overwhelming support for a barrel strength iteration. Old Forester Rye was the first new recipe from Old Forester in nearly 150 years.

They’re calling this release the High Angels’ Share, as a selection of the Old Forester barrels lost an exceptional volume of whiskey to evaporation in the aging process. But with that evaporation, Old Forester distillers found it left behind a bourbon rich and layered with dark flavor notes, dried fruits, and an herbaceous quality.
And speaking of Old Forester personnel, the 117 series has another historic quality to it, as the bourbon series is directed by the palate of Old Forester Master Taster Jackie Zykan, and its label will bear her name, making this the first bottle in the brand’s more than 150 year history to feature a woman’s signature.
