A Historic Revival of Louisville’s Bold Rye Tradition

Rooted in the rich heritage of America’s first bottled bourbon, Old Forester Rye pays homage to the brand’s pre-Prohibition roots when multiple grain recipes were standard. Eschewing the traditional high-corn approach, Old Forester utilizes a unique, malt-heavy mashbill (65% rye, 20% malted barley, and 15% corn). The inclusion of 20% malted barley introduces natural enzymes that convert starches uniquely, resulting in a distinctively complex, grain-forward character.

Robust Proof and Uncompromising Craft

Bottled at an ideal 100 proof, this rye whiskey strikes the perfect balance between punchy intensity and mixability. It has enough backbone to stand up bravely against heavy modifiers in a cocktail, yet it remains smooth and approachable enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks.

An Exquisite, Spice-Driven Tasting Profile

Old Forester 100 Proof Rye delivers a vibrant, multi-layered sensory journey:

• Color: Rich, glowing amber with warm golden highlights.

• Nose: Intensely aromatic and inviting. Waves of fresh dill, bright spearmint, and cracked black pepper lead the way, complemented by secondary notes of rich caramel, brown sugar, and sweet citrus peel.

• Palate: Full-bodied, oily, and assertive on the entry. The palate coats the mouth with layers of zesty baking spice, cinnamon, fresh green apple, and honeyed malt, anchored by a solid structure of toasted oak.

• Finish: Clean, long, and warming. A lingering kick of dry rye spice, herbal tea, and sweet caramel fades into a satisfying, crisp close.

An Indispensable Staple for Every Back Bar

Widely celebrated by bartenders and connoisseurs as one of the best values in American rye, Old Forester 100 Proof is an absolute must-have. Whether you are building the ultimate Manhattan, mixing a crisp Sazerac, or enjoying a neat pour at the end of the day, it never fails to deliver.
