About Old Forester:

Old Forester is a brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whisky, produced by Brown-Forman Corporation. It’s notable for being the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed bottles, ensuring consistent quality. Founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown, it’s also the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company before, during, and after Prohibition.

History:
George Garvin Brown, a former pharmaceutical salesman, created Old Forester in 1870, naming it after Dr. William Forrester. He was the first to sell bourbon in sealed bottles rather than from barrels, a revolutionary idea at the time.
Unique Qualities:
Old Forester is known as “America’s First Bottled Bourbon” and has the distinction of being the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company through Prohibition. During Prohibition, Brown-Forman received one of only six licenses to legally produce whiskey for medicinal purposes, and Old Forester was one of the brands produced.
Distillery and Production:
Old Forester is produced at the Brown-Forman distillery in Shively, Kentucky, and at the Old Forester Distilling Co. downtown. The brand also offers distillery tours and a retail experience.
Products:
Old Forester offers a variety of bourbons, including Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style, Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky, and Old Forester 1924. They also have a Mint Julep Cocktail and a King Ranch Edition, among other expressions.
Mash Bill:
Old Forester maintains a consistent mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley for many of its core expressions, according to multiple sources.
Legacy:
Old Forester’s commitment to quality and consistency, coupled with its long history, has solidified its place as a significant brand in the bourbon world.
