Old Forester President's Choice Straight Rye Whisky 700ml

Old Forester President's Choice Rye Whiskey is a top-shelf, single barrel release bottled at cask strength and crafted from a mash bill of 65% rye, 20% malted barley, and 15% corn. Aged between 7 to 9 years, each barrel is hand-selected by Old Forester’s master tasting team and bottled unfiltered to preserve its unique character. The whiskey typically ranges from 110 to 125 proof, offering a bold yet elegant experience for serious rye enthusiasts and collectors alike.

“President’s Choice has always been an incredibly rare and cherished bottle, and most consumers have never seen it, let alone tasted the whisky,” said Master Taster Melissa Rift. “We are honored to bring it to a wider audience.”

Tasting Notes

Rich and complex, starting with an aromatic nose of dark cherry, cracked pepper, clove, cinnamon bark, and toasted oak. On the palate, expect intense rye spice interwoven with notes of black tea, burnt orange, molasses, and dark chocolate, finishing with earthy pepper and soft vanilla. The long, warming finish lingers with oak tannins, spice cabinet tones, and a whisper of tobacco—truly a sensory journey from start to end.
