Old Forester Rye 100 Proof 750ml

Poured this over a big ice cube and the 100 proof holds up beautifully without burning, just a nice warmth that lingers. It's smooth enough to sip neat but has enough kick to stand out in a cocktail. Really happy with this bottle for the price.

This Kentucky rye has a really nice balance of spice and sweetness for 100 proof, and it makes a fantastic old fashioned. I’ve been using it as my go-to mixing rye and the bold flavor stands up perfectly to the bitters.

The 100 proof gives it a solid rye kick that makes a Manhattan taste way more balanced than with cheaper bottles, and the 750ml size lasts me a good few weeks. I've been sipping it neat on ice mostly, and the bold profile holds up without getting harsh.
