The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown, Old Forester was the first bourbon ever sold exclusively in sealed glass bottles to ensure quality and consistency. Today, the brand remains a cornerstone of Kentucky bourbon heritage under the stewardship of the Brown family.

How it is made

Old Forester is crafted at the historic Brown-Forman Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. It is celebrated as the only bourbon continuously distilled and marketed by the founding family before, during, and after Prohibition.
