While many brands start slow with a non-aged-statement whiskey or a 10-year-old expression, Oakley Spirits is starting off with a bang. That’s because this brand, named for the legendary sharpshooter and western hero Annie Oakley, is launching Rare Collector’s Edition 20-Year Aged Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon as its inaugural expression.

Each bottle of this limited-edition expression featured a hand-numbered label. Sourced from “of Kentucky’s oldest and most legendary distilleries,”  it was matured for two decades in charred American oak barrels.

The result is a cask-strength, memorable whiskey that (according to the brand) begins with a nose of honeysuckles and baked peach. The palate is a mix of German chocolate cake, caramelized vanilla, dark cherry, and toasted pecans. The finish is warm and lingering and features a broad range of flavors, including cracked black pepper, smoky oak, and creme brûlée.

Not only is it a noteworthy bourbon whiskey, but it’s also the first expression in the world to use anti-fraud ink technology to guarantee your bottle isn’t counterfeit. Created by Iridia and used by BAXUS on the Solana blockchain, you can rest assured that your bottle is the real deal, including a 100% tamper-proof seal.

The popular Old Forester 1924 is back
Old Forester

First released last January, Old Forester is re-releasing its wildly popular 10-year-old expression, Old Forester 1924, for the second consecutive year. If you didn't get a chance to try this 100-proof whiskey last year because it sold out so quickly, maybe you'll get a bottle this year.
Old Forester 1924

Old Forester 1924 begins with a mash bill of 79% corn, 11% rye, and 10% malted barley. The newest addition to the brand's popular Whiskey Row Series (along with 1870 Original Batch, 1897 Bottled in Bond, 1910 Old Fine Whisky, and 1920 Prohibition Style) was released last year to pay tribute to the brand's 100th anniversary.
