Doc Swinson's Alter Ego Solera Method Rye Whiskey is a unique rye whiskey finished in rum casks using the Solera method. It's known for its blend of spiced rye, dark honey, toasted oak, and dried fruit notes, with hints of citrus zest and cocoa. The Solera process, typically used for rums, adds complexity by blending younger and older spirits over time, resulting in a balanced and flavorful whiskey.

In 1870, our founder George Garvin Brown revolutionized the industry by sealing Bourbon in a glass bottle for the first time. Five generations and nearly 150 years later, we are proud to introduce the first Kentucky Straight Rye Whisky from The First Bottled Bourbon™. A historic recipe, acquired in 1940 by Owsley Brown I, Old Forester Rye features a mash bill of 65% Rye, 20% Malted Barley, and 15% Corn. Such a high proportion of barley allows for a fully natural fermentation process, forgoing the need for artificial enzymes commonly found in high rye mash bills. Additionally, a generous percentage of malt yields a unique floral character, balancing the sharp, brisk spice of the rye grain. Continuing our legacy of quality and consistency, Old Forester uses its own proprietary yeast strain, produces every barrel, and distills every drop. At 100 proof, Old Forester Rye plays beautifully in a cocktail but also stands up boldly on its own.
