Old Forester recently released its latest 117 Series expression, High Angels’ Share Rye.
Due to the effects of heat-cycled warehousing and the distinct barrel maturation conditions, certain barrels occasionally yield an elevated evaporative loss, affectionately known as the “angel’s share.” From these rare barrels comes this expression, a small batch of casks that have developed intensely flavorful and concentrated profiles.
“We’re continually amazed by what our warehouses can produce,” Old Forester Assistant Master Distiller Caleb Trigo said. “With High Angels’ Share Rye, the angels clearly left their mark, yielding a rye whiskey that’s bold, concentrated, and deeply rewarding. It’s a celebration of both old-world tradition and the serendipitous magic that comes from maturation in motion.”
High Angels’ Share Rye is bottled at 110 proof and presented in a 375 mL bottle. Batch No. 001 marks the inaugural release of this expression. This newest offering joins in its 117 Series, a collection that highlights distinctive barrels and showcases the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.
Old Forester The 117 Series – High Angels’ Share Rye is available for $64.99.
