Description

Founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown and John Forman, one of the oldest American-owned spirits companies and still majority-controlled by descendants of the Brown family; not a distillery itself, but the parent of Jack Daniel's, Woodford Reserve, and Old Forester, as well as the Scotch distilleries GlenDronach, BenRiach, and Glenglassaugh.

Whiskeys from this Distillery

  • Old Forester 1870 Original Batch

    45% ABV
    Bourbon Kentucky

    Batched from barrels drawn from three different warehouses to emulate founder George Garvin Brown's original 1870s blending process; first release in the Whiskey Row series.

  • Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond

    50% ABV
    Bottled in Bond Bourbon Kentucky

  • Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky

    46.5% ABV
    Bourbon Kentucky
    No Rating

    Double-barreled Whiskey Row release that re-enters mature bourbon into a second heavily charred barrel, inspired by a 1910 bottling-line fire that led to accidental re-barreling.

  • Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style

    57.5% ABV
    Bourbon Kentucky
    No Rating

    High-proof Whiskey Row release commemorating Old Forester's Prohibition-era medicinal whiskey permit, presented at 115 proof to mimic the barrel strength of that era.

  • Old Forester Birthday Bourbon (2025 Release, 25th Anniversary)

    46% ABV
    Bourbon Kentucky
    No Rating

    Old Forester's most anticipated annual release, celebrating founder George Garvin Brown's September 2 birthday and drawn each year from a single day's production. The 25th edition broke with 25 years of tradition by using a "sweet mash" process with no backset for the first time ever, relying solely on freshly propagated yeast; distilled April 5, 2013, aged 12 years in Warehouse K (floors 1 and 5), and selected by Master Distiller Emeritus Chris Morris and Assistant Master Distiller Caleb Trigo from 210 barrels. As with all Birthday Bourbon vintages, proof and character vary meaningfully year to year.
