The Birthday Bourbon is an exclusive, annual release from Old Forester, specifically crafted to commemorate the birthday of its pioneering founder, George Garvin Brown.
What is Old Forester Birthday Bourbon?
Old Forester Birthday Bourbon is a highly anticipated, limited edition, vintage-dated expression of bourbon. It celebrates the legacy of George Garvin Brown, who, in 1870, made history as the first person to seal his whiskey, Old Forester, in a glass bottle. This innovative act ensured quality and consistency for consumers, distinguishing Old Forester as "The First Bottled Bourbon™."
Each year, this special release honors Brown's birthday, with the September 2nd release marking a significant milestone, such as the 23rd limited edition expression in 2023.
