The series is directed by Old Forester Master Taster Jackie Zykan, with High Angels’ Share becoming the first bottle in the brand’s more than 150 year history to feature a woman’s signature. Image Source: Old Forester “Creating The 117 Series has been a labor of love and seeing my signature on the label is one of the highlights of my career. My mind is exploding with the endless possibilities of this smaller scale of experimentation and innovation,” said Zykan of the new Old Forester range. “This series presents an opportunity to pull the curtain back and share the isolates of the blending process to help deepen the understanding of how variants in maturation affect flavor profile.” The 117 Series: High Angels’ Share showcases a selection of barrels that lost exceptional volume to evaporation in the aging process, known colloquially as the angels’ share. The resulting bourbon is rich and multidimensional, layered with dark flavor notes, dried fruits, and unexpected herbaceous qualities.

The 117 Series: High Angels’ Share is available to the public via the retail shop at Old Forester Distilling Co. The 117 Series releases will be sold for a suggested retail price of $49.99 at Old Forester Distilling Co. and in limited quantities at select Kentucky retailers.
