Old Forester 117 Series High Angels Share Barrels 003 Straight Bourbon Whiskey 375ml

Old Forester 117 Series High Angels Share Barrels 003 Straight Bourbon Whiskey 375ml — the third release in the Old Forester 117 Series High Angels Share subset, presenting Warehouse K barrels that experienced exceptional angel’s share (evaporation) loss during aging, concentrating the bourbon’s flavor and producing a distinctly intense expression at 110 proof (55% ABV) in the 375ml format.

The High Angels Share designation identifies barrels from the Old Forester barrel aging program where exceptional evaporation concentrated the spirit — upper-floor barrels in Warehouse K experience more intense heat cycling and higher evaporation rates than lower floors, producing more concentrated flavor in the remaining liquid. 003 is the third documented High Angels Share release in the series, establishing this as a tracked program of barrels selected specifically for exceptional evaporative concentration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does High Angels Share mean for bourbon quality?

Higher-than-average angel’s share (evaporation) concentrates the remaining bourbon — more of the liquid evaporates, leaving the flavor compounds in a smaller volume of spirit. High angels share barrels typically produce more intense flavor concentration than standard barrels from the same aging environment, making them a premium selection subset within the Old Forester 117 Series program.
