LOUISVILLE, KY, December 5, 2024 – Today marks the 91 th Anniversary of
Repeal Day and Old Forester is celebrating the end of Prohibition with the
release of a new, limited-edition expression: Warehouse I.
The latest addition to the 117 series features 11-year-old
bourbon that brings a unique flavor profile to capture the
holiday spirit.
Each bottle of the limited-edition whisky comes from
barrels aged in Old Forester’s Warehouse I, resulting in a
flavor profile distinct to the warehouse’s unique
maturation environment. These Warehouse I barrels were
heat-cycled since 2013 and chosen exclusively from the
hottest floors, Old Forester Assistant Master Distiller Caleb
Trigo.
“Our 117 series is all about experimentation, and the
characteristics of Warehouse I make it perfect for this
innovative series,” Master Taster Melissa Rift added. “This one-of-a-kind
bourbon is a great way to celebrate the holidays.”
Warehouse I is bottled at 95-proof (47.5% ABV) in a 375 ml bottle. A very
limited quantity will be available at Old Forester Distillery starting at 10 a.m.
