The story behind it

The maker

Old Forester was founded by George Garvin Brown in 1870, who revolutionized the industry by selling the first bottled bourbon. It remains the only bourbon brand continuously sold by its founding family before, during, and after Prohibition.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Brown-Forman distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, using strict bottled-in-bond standards. Every batch is aged under government supervision, distilled in one season at a single distillery, and bottled at exactly 100 proof.
