Old Forester 117 Series: Bottled in Bond Rye

Old Forester has released its latest expression in the 117 Series: Bottled in Bond Rye.

This release marks the first Bottled in Bond Rye Whisky made by Old Forester.

The 1897 Bottled in Bond Act required that each bottling be composed of barrels filled during a single distillation season. This small batch of Rye Whisky reflects the flavor of the unusually cool and wet Spring of 2015, the distillery says.

117 Series Bottled in Bond Rye comes bottled at 100 proof in a 375-ml. bottle.

“This 117 Series release is unique because it holds a tie to our 1897 Bottled in Bond, our tribute to the Bottled in Bond Act,” says Old Forester assistant master distiller Caleb Trigo. “This release is a first for Old Forester, and stays true to our historical promise of quality, consistency and balance.”

Bottled in Bond Rye marks the latest expression in this limited-edition series, which launched in 2021.

Old Forester 117 Series: Bottled in Bond Rye is available starting today at the retail shop at Old Forester Distillery Co. and will be available for shipping (to D.C., KY, NE, NH, ND only) in their online store at shop.oldforester.com. The suggested retail price for the 375-ml. bottle is $64.99.

The product is also available at select Kentucky retailers.

This follows the 2025 rollout of Old Forester 1924 bourbon whiskey.
