Old Forester has just released the latest in its 117 series – Scotch Cask Finish, and they’re sharing all teh details with us at BourbonBlog.com on this 93-proof liquid that honors George Garvin Brown’s Scottish heritage.
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 for 375 ml bottle.
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.
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.
“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.”
