OLD FORESTER SINGLE BARREL 100 PROOF

Old Forester is “America’s First Bottled Bourbon,” and the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company before, during, and after Prohibition. In 1870, George Garvin Brown created Old Forester on Louisville’s famous Whiskey Row – the first bourbon to be sold in sealed glass bottles instead of barrels, to ensure consistent quality. It took until the U.S. Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 for government regulations to catch up, when sealed bottles became a requirement. One of America’s founding bourbons, Old Forester continued to thrive until 1920, when Prohibition began. Many distilleries were closed, but fortunately, Brown-Forman applied for and received a license from the U.S. government to continue producing Old Forester for medicinal purposes. Today, the Old Forester brand and its many expressions are prized by bartenders and consumers alike for its authentic bourbon taste.
