Old Forester just threw down with their new 117 Series High Angel's Share Rye, and this one's built different.
We're talking about a rye whiskey that lost a massive chunk to evaporation, the good ol' angel's share, meaning what's left in the barrel is concentrated, bold, and impossibly flavourful. This isn't your everyday sipper. It's the kind of bottle that makes you pause before you pour.
The 117 Series has always been about pushing boundaries, and this High Angel's Share expression takes that concept to the next level. More evaporation means deeper character, richer spice notes, and a complexity you won't find in standard releases.
Old Forester's been on an absolute tear lately, and this release proves they're not slowing down. If you've been hunting for something special to add to your collection (or just want to taste what happens when time and patience meet serious rye whiskey) this is your moment.
Limited availability means this won't be easy to find. When a distillery like Old Forester drops something this ambitious, you move fast or you miss out. Sadly, it is doubtful we'll nose so much as a sniff on our beautiful shores.
