The story behind it

The maker

Old Forester was founded by George Garvin Brown in 1870 in Louisville, Kentucky, creating the first bourbon exclusively sold in sealed glass bottles to guarantee quality. Today, it remains 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 is historic-producer of the brand's commitment to quality since 1870. It is aged in charred oak barrels inside heat-cycled rickhouses to ensure consistent, deep maturation year-round.
