Old Forester 117 Series High Angels' Share Rye: Hype or Heaven?

from Blind Tasting Podcast · host Mark Teachey

I picked up Old Forester's High Angels' Share Rye (Batch 001) from the 117 Series at the distillery on Whiskey Row in Louisville, and today I'm putting it to the test. We'll talk about what makes this limited-edition, 110-proof rye unique, how those high angel's share barrels create a more concentrated whiskey, and I'll break down the nose, palate, finish, and whether it's worth the $65 price tag. Most importantly, does it earn a Keep It, Collect It, or Cull It? Let's find out.Grab my new book Whiskey Wisdom & Bourbon B.S.: Barrel Strength Legends, Lies, and Untold Tales here on Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FLNGXJL3Like what I'm doing?
