“Old Forester’s first-ever rye and first new mashbill in 150 years, balanced at 65% rye, 20% malted barley, and 15% corn. Cinnamon, raspberries, blackberry, vanilla, and spiced oak greet the nose. The palate starts out sweet and fruity, then reveals an almond nuttiness, cinnamon, orange, and chili pepper. Water coaxes out ginger, pecan, and more heat. A smooth finish that’s still spicy, ending with a flourish of candied orange and rich chocolate.” – David Fleming, Whisky Advocate (88 Points)
“Everything works wonderfully well together, with the punchy nose and the more supple palate creating a surprisingly cohesive and complementary whole.” – Christopher Null, Drinkhacker (95 Points)
“I am incredibly impressed with this rye whiskey. I love the mash bill approach – it brings great complexity and balance for an affordable whiskey. I look forward to making cocktails with it, as the 100 proof will help carry those pleasantly created notes through.” – Cameron Holck, The Whiskey Wash (90 Points)
