Founded by George Garvin Brown in 1870 in Louisville, Kentucky, Old Forester was the first bourbon to be exclusively sold in sealed glass bottles to ensure quality. It stands today as the only bourbon continuously distilled and marketed by its founding family before, during, and after Prohibition.
Crafted at the historic Brown-Forman Distillery, this expression represents the style of bourbon produced under medicinal license during Prohibition. This 115-proof release mimics the barrel entry proof of that era, ensuring a rich and historic tasting profile.
