For over a century, the "President’s Choice" label was the holy grail of Old Forester bourbon—a private selection reserved for VIPs, dignitaries, and the Brown family itself. Now, history has shifted. For the first time ever, that gold-standard seal has been applied to a rye whiskey. This isn't just a barrel pick; it is a declaration of intent from the First Family of Bourbon.
Hand-selected by the distillery's president, this release showcases the unique "high malt" mashbill (65% rye, 20% malted barley, 15% corn) in its most unbridled form. Unlike the standard 100-proof offering, this spirit is bottled at a ferocious barrel strength—often soaring past 115 proof—allowing the massive influence of the heat-cycled warehouses to shine without dilution. It is uncut, unfiltered, and unapologetically intense.
You are tasting a profile that defies the "grassy" stereotype of traditional rye. The high barley content injects a creamy, floral sweetness that wrestles with the charred oak, creating a texture that feels more like a dessert than a spirit. If you have been hunting for the apex of the Old Forester rye experiment, you just found it.
