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. EST on December 5, 2024 and is available for shipping in states where it is legal (KY, ND, NE, ND, D.C. only) in our online store at shop.oldforester.com and at select Kentucky retailers. The manufacturer's suggested retail price is $64.99.

Tasting notes:

Aroma - sweet aromatics abound with notes of dark honey, peanut brittle, and toasted oak as hints of spiced pear and stonefruit are complimented by clove and light-roasted coffee

Taste - juicy apricot and orchard fruit lead the palate with butterscotch, clove, and nutmeg offering a sweet and spiced profile, and white pepper adds a bit of texture

Finish - Slightly dry and oaky with pear and white pepper persisting through a long but balanced finish
