Old Forester The 117 Series Bottled in Bond Batch 1 375ML

Old Forester 117 Series Bottled in Bond Batch 1 375ml — released July 2023, the BiB-certified tier of Old Forester's 117 Series program: 100 proof, single distillery, single distilling season, federally bonded warehouse aging. Named for Old Forester's address at 117 W. Main Street on Louisville's historic Whiskey Row.

The Bottled in Bond expression applies the federal BiB standard to the 117 Series: legally guaranteed single-distillery, single-season production at exactly 100 proof — more assertive than Old Forester's standard 86-proof expressions, with the BiB standard adding federal production transparency to the program. The 375ml format provides a half-bottle entry to the expression at an accessible scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How does the BiB expression differ from the standard 117 Series? The standard 117 Series single barrels are bottled at natural barrel strength, each with a unique proof. The Bottled in Bond expression is blended and bottled at exactly 100 proof under the federal BiB standard — less proof variation, more production transparency, and the federal guarantee of single-distillery single-season origin.
