Old Forester 117 Series Prohibition Era Still Proof Bourbon
375ml Bottle
Old Forester 117 Series Prohibition Era Still Proof Bourbon is a limited-edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Old Forester that pays tribute to the brand's unique ability to continue distilling during Prohibition. This release reflects the unusually high distillation proof used during a brief, historic window when Old Forester produced whiskey for medicinal purposes, resulting in a bold, uncompromising bourbon bottled at still proof. Made with the classic Old Forester mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley, it delivers intense oak-driven character balanced by deep sweetness and spice with an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 65% (130 Proof). Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open it up, this collector-focused release highlights power, history, and structure.
Aroma: On the nose, bright orange peel is balanced with warm toasted oak and subtle hints of chocolate nougat, hazelnut, and honey.
Palate: The palate is excited with an immediate pop of crisp apple, followed by decadent baklava and warm cinnamon spice.
Finish: An intense finish of rye spice and white pepper, with a bit of zesty citrus, lingers on the palate.
