About the brand
Old Forester is a cornerstone of American whiskey history, established in 1870 by George Garvin Brown. It is famously the first bourbon ever sold exclusively in sealed glass bottles, a move made to guarantee quality at a time when consistency was rare. To this day, it remains the only bourbon brand continuously distilled and marketed by the founding family before, during, and after Prohibition.
