The bourbon has a long link to Louisville’s Whiskey Row, where Old Forester was first established, and it remains part of the Brown-Forman portfolio today. Old Forester is also notable for being continuously sold by the same company before, during and after Prohibition, a rare distinction in American whiskey history.
Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon remains the core expression, with the wider range including 86 Proof, 100 Proof, Statesman and the Whiskey Row Series. Releases such as 1870 Original Batch, 1897 Bottled in Bond, 1910 Old Fine Whisky and 1920 Prohibition Style draw directly on key moments from the brand’s history, while keeping Old Forester centred on classic bourbon character, with notes of caramel, oak, spice, vanilla and rich fruit.
