Rich History of the Old Forester Distillery

Old Forester is produced by Brown-Forman, one of the oldest and most respected names in the American whiskey industry. Founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown, Old Forester holds the distinction of being the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed bottles, ensuring consistency and quality. The brand has remained in continuous production since its inception, even during Prohibition, when it was one of only six distilleries allowed to produce medicinal whiskey.

The 1870 Original Batch expression pays homage to the original batching process used by George Garvin Brown, where bourbon from three different distilleries was blended to create a consistent and high-quality product. This dedication to excellence and tradition is evident in every bottle of Old Forester 1870, making it a favorite among bourbon connoisseurs worldwide.

How To Serve

How To Serve
  • Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
  • Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
  • Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
  • Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
