Old Forester 117 Series Prohibition Era Still Proof is a premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that pays homage to a significant chapter in American whiskey history. During Prohibition, distillers like Old Forester were granted permits to bottle whiskey as medicine. In 1930, the government allowed a 100-day window for these distillers to replenish their dwindling stocks.

This whiskey reflects the high standards of that historic era, distilled at a robust 130 proof (65% ABV) for an authentic, bold flavor experience. A true collector’s item and a testament to Old Forester’s enduring legacy.
