Louisville, KY, Dec. 12, 2023 – Today, Old Forester® announces the newest release in its 117 series –
Scotch Cask Finish, a 93-proof liquid that honors George Garvin Brown’s Scottish heritage.

This limited-edition bottle celebrates Brown’s Gaelic roots with the sherry and wine barrels sourced and
matured from the protected Speyside region around the River Spey in northeastern Scotland. The cask
finish highlights Old Forester’s natural fruit character which is a result of fermentation with the oldest
yeast strain.

“This release is special to the family history our brand was built on,” said Old Forester Master Taster
Melissa Rift. “We‘ve been creating top-quality, rare and innovative expressions for 150 years, and this
scotch whiskey captures our founder’s spirit in another rich and smooth liquid, which I recommend
serving neat.”

Scotch Cask Finish marks the latest installment in the 117 Series, a limited-expression lineup that
debuted in Spring 2021 and focuses on innovation and experimentation.

Old Forester 117 Series: Scotch Cask Finish is bottled at 93-proof and is available starting today
(December 12) at the retail shop at Old Forester Distilling Co. and at select Kentucky stores. The
suggested retail price is $59.99
