Since the release of Old Forester Rye in 2019, fans of the brand have been clamoring to try it at barrel strength, and weʼre excited to deliver. For the first time in the brandʼs 150 year history, Old Forester is elated to present this new expression, unfiltered, as a single barrel at barrel strength. As such, each barrel will have it's own unique tasting notes and various proofs- but all distinctly Old Forester Rye. This expression, although extremely limited, will be available nationwide though not through Old Foresterʼs private By the Barrel program.

An epic sequel to the World's Best Rye, The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapu's Pacific completes our journey around the world, unfurling a chronicle as rich and bold as the whiskey itself. Upon crossing the Pacific, Captain Magellan met his fate at the hands of the legendary Filipino warrior LapuLapu. A fierce and vociferous defender of independence, LapuLapu led his island home against the Spaniards. There he forged a successful fortification, staving off colonial occupation for more than forty years. In honor of our new hero, this rare edition sees a double finish in high toast, small batch, single island Philippine Rum casks, adding layers of warm spice and delicate tropical notes to an already deeply complex, well aged Rye Whiskey. LapuLapu's Pacific is a profound statement of strength and independence, a spectacular sequel to Magellan's Atlantic. This rare and outstandingly complex whiskey is barrel strength, bottled between 104.8 and 106.6 proof.
