LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Old Forester released a new bourbon Wednesday.
High Angels' Share is part of the Kentucky whiskey brand's 117 series. According to a news release, the limited-edition whiskey is the result of low-yield barrels that results in a rick, layered concentration.
The 375 ml bottle is 110 proof. It has dark flavor notes, dried fruits and herbaceous qualities, according to Old Forester.
"When walking into our aging warehouses, the aroma of evaporating whiskey is immediately evident," Assistant Master Distiller Caleb Trigo said in a news release. "That smell is commonly called Angels’ Share – the angels taking their portion of the bourbon. Barrels with high evaporation concentrate flavors. We are pleased to bring those flavors directly to consumers through this unique bottle."
Old Forester releases three different 117 expressions annually. The new bourbon is available for purchase at the Old Forester Distillery at $59.99 per bottle.
