Today marks the 91^th Anniversary of Repeal Day and Old Forester is celebrating the end of Prohibition with the release of a new, limited-edition expression: Warehouse I. 

The latest addition to the 117 series features 11-year-old bourbon that brings a unique flavor profile to capture the holiday spirit.  

Each bottle of the limited-edition whisky comes from barrels aged in Old Forester’s Warehouse I, resulting in a flavor profile distinct to the warehouse’s unique maturation environment. These Warehouse I barrels were heat-cycled since 2013 and chosen exclusively from the hottest floors, Old Forester Assistant Master Distiller Caleb Trigo. 

“Our 117 series is all about experimentation, and the characteristics of Warehouse I make it perfect for this innovative series,” Master Taster Melissa Rift said in a news release. “This one-of-a-kind bourbon is a great way to celebrate the holidays.”

Warehouse I is bottled at 95-proof (47.5% ABV) in a 375 ml bottle. A very limited quantity will be available at Old Forester Distillery starting at 10 a.m. EST on Repeal Day, December 5, 2024, and is available for shipping in states where it is legal (KY, ND, NE, ND, D.C. only) in our online store at shop.oldforester.com and at select Kentucky retailers. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $64.99.  

Old Forester is the only bourbon brand continually sold before, during and after Prohibition. Old Forester was one of only a few companies awarded a medical license by the federal government during Prohibition.
