Old Forester 117 Series High Angels' Share Bourbon
In bourbon terms, the Angels' Share refers to the evaporation that occurs while the spirit ages inside the barrel. Old Forester's latest addition to its 117 Series comes from a group of barrels that saw significant volume loss during aging, giving this High Angels' Share release a rich, complex flavor profile. Following the bold, spicy nose is a main course of molasses and dessert flavors, finishing with notes of spice, pepper, and coffee. Given the concentrated flavors, it's recommended to air the bourbon out — or add water or an ice cube — to help release its potential. It arrives at 55% ABV in smaller 375ml bottles and is available at the brand's Louisville distillery.
