more floral
Launching February 2019, Old Forester Rye is the first new mash bill for the brand in 150 years. It is inspired by a historic recipe for Normandy Rye, a brand acquired by Brown-Forman in 1940.
It has a mash bill of 65% rye, 20% malted barley, and 15% corn -- a fairly higher amount of malted barley than is typically seen in a rye. This Kentucky Straight Rye is bottled at 100 proof.

Tasting Notes
"An affordable, 100 proof rye from Old Forester is an exciting new offering, and this whiskey has a unique mash bill and flavor profile to stand out from the crowd. The palate is strikingly unusual, with a big hit of clove. It offers a good balance of sweet and heat, with flavors of vanilla, cherrywood, and a mildly medicinal note. The finish is sweet with a bit of maple. It's likely to make an excellent choice for complex Manhattans."
