Fans of Old Forester eagerly await its limited-edition expressions. They were probably excited to learn that the iconic Kentucky-based brand announced the relaunch of one of its most popular annual releases: Old Forester 1910 Extra Extra Old.

Part of its 117 Series of whiskeys, Old Forester 1910 Extra Extra Old gets its name because, after its initial maturation, this double-barreled bourbon is matured for an extra 24 months in a heavily charred secondary oak barrel. First released in spring 2021, this expression was originally an experimental whiskey made by aging 1910 Old Fine Whisky for an extra finishing period. The distillers liked the results enough to bottle it, and, clearly, so did Old Forester drinkers.

According to the brand, it all begins with a nose of sticky toffee pudding and toasted hazelnut. The palate is known for its velvety, silky mouthfeel and notes of sweet almond, toasted oak, and baking spices. The finish combines milk chocolate, sweet oak, and cinnamon.

“This bourbon exemplifies our innovative spirit at Old Forester by taking something great and making it even better. The additional maturation leveraged to produce this release unlocks incredibly robust and distinctive flavor,” Assistant Master Distiller Caleb Trigo says.

The flavor secrets behind high-rye bourbon every whiskey lover should know

What exactly is high-rye bourbon?

Whiskey in a glass

Bourbon whiskey has some specific rules. First of all, it must be made in the US (this includes Washington DC, Guam, and Puerto Rico) and not just in Kentucky (even though 95% of bourbon whiskey is produced there). In addition to several other requirements, it must be made with a mash bill of at least 51% corn. The common secondary grains include barley, wheat, and rye. And while we could get into the various flavors each secondary grain brings to the table, today is all about rye—specifically, high-rye bourbon.

If you’re anything like me, when I first heard the term “high-rye” bourbon, I wasn’t entirely sure what it meant. In the simplest terms, it’s a bourbon made with a large percentage of rye after the initial corn. But it’s so much more complex than that.
