Old Forester 1910 Bourbon

Old Forester750 ml46% ABV

Double-barreled bourbon with rich notes of sweet oak char

This unique expression undergoes a historic second barreling in heavily charred oak, resulting in an exceptionally smooth and sweet flavor profile. It delivers a deeply roasted character with a clean, crisp finish that honors the distillery's historic 1910 fire rescue bottling.

The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown in Louisville, Kentucky, Old Forester is famous for being the first bourbon bottled exclusively in sealed glass to guarantee quality. It is the only bourbon continuously distilled and marketed by its founding family before, during, and after Prohibition.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Brown-Forman distillery, this expression replicates a historic 1910 bottling where a distillery fire forced mature whisky to be transferred into new charred oak casks. This double-barreling technique imparts unprecedented depth and sweet oak char into the final bourbon.
