Old Forester was first sold in 1870 by George Garvin Brown, and the brand says it was the first bourbon sold only in sealed glass bottles. This 100-proof (50%) bottling is made by Brown-Forman at the Old Forester distillery in Louisville, Kentucky.
The higher proof gives a bold, spicy bourbon with rich caramel, chocolate, baked apple and clove, finishing long and toasty.
For a 100-proof bourbon under $30 that shines in cocktails, Old Forester is our pick. For an older, more refined Old Forester, choose Old Forester 1924 10 Year; for another 100-proof bourbon, compare Knob Creek.
Use it in an Old Fashioned, a Whiskey Sour or a Mint Julep, or sip it on the rocks.
We carry it in the 750ml size. More bottles are under bourbon, and the rest of our whiskey is a click away. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery across NYC.
