Old Forester
Single Barrel Rye 126.5 Proof

Old Forester Single Barrel Rye Barrel Proof is one of Brown-Forman’s most sought-after limited releases. Bottled from a single barrel at barrel proof, each release is uncut, non-chill filtered, and showcases the bold character of Old Forester’s unique Kentucky-style rye mash bill.

Why You’ll Love It

• • Single Barrel: Every barrel is unique—no two releases taste exactly alike.
• • Barrel Proof (126.5): Bottled uncut and unfiltered for maximum flavor.
• • Warehouse I, Floor 1: Lower-floor maturation often produces a richer, more balanced whiskey with excellent oak integration.
• • Unique Rye Mash Bill: At 20% malted barley, Old Forester’s rye has a creamier, more rounded profile than many high-rye competitors.
