The Story

Old Forester Rye Whiskey carries forward a legacy that began in 1870, when founder George Garvin Brown revolutionized the whiskey industry by becoming the first to seal Bourbon in a glass bottle, guaranteeing consistency and quality to customers. Five generations later, the Brown family still owns and operates Old Forester in Louisville, Kentucky, and that same commitment to consistency and craft carries through to this rye whiskey expression. Expect a nose of peppery spice, toasted oak, and light citrus, while the palate delivers a bold, well-balanced combination of rye bite, caramel, and vanilla, finishing warm with a clean, satisfying spice.

The Craft

This rye's balanced, classic profile makes it a great choice for sipping neat or on the rocks, and it also shines in traditional cocktails like a Manhattan, Sazerac, or whiskey smash. Pair it with smoked meats, aged cheddar, or pecan pie for a classic Kentucky pairing.

The Detail

As one of America's oldest continuously family-owned whiskey brands, Old Forester brings over 150 years of history to every bottle. Shop Old Forester Rye Whiskey online at Habits Bottle Shop and experience this historic Kentucky distillery's take on rye.

How To Serve

Ways To Pour It

🥃

Neat

Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.

🧊

On The Rocks

A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.

🍸

In A Cocktail

Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
