In 1870, our founder George Garvin Brown revolutionized the industry by sealing Bourbon in a glass bottle for the first time. Five generations and nearly 150 years later, we are proud to introduce the first Kentucky Straight Rye Whisky from The First Bottled Bourbon™.
A historic recipe, acquired in 1940 by Owsley Brown I, Old Forester Rye features a mash bill of 65% Rye, 20% Malted Barley, and 15% Corn. Such a high proportion of barley allows for a fully natural fermentation process, forgoing the need for artificial enzymes commonly found in high rye mash bills. Additionally, a generous percentage of malt yields a uniquely floral character, balancing the sharp, brisk spice of the rye grain. Continuing our legacy of quality and consistency, Old Forester uses its own proprietary yeast strain, produces every barrel, and distills every drop.
At 100 proof, Old Forester Rye plays beautifully in a cocktail but also stands up boldly on its own.
Old Forester Rye is a versatile whisky. It’s perfect for mixing into cocktails to add a rich, flavorful kick. Just pour it into your favorite cocktail recipe and enjoy. When sipping it neat, take your time to savor its distinct floral and spicy notes. Remember, it’s 100 proof, so drink responsibly. There’s no special maintenance required, just store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
