Old Forester 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky, 750 mL Bottle, 100 Proof
Brand Description
In 1870, Old Forester became "America’s First Bottled Bourbon" when founder George Garvin Brown revolutionized the industry by being the first to put Bourbon in a glass bottle. Five generations and nearly 150 years later, Old Forester delivers a genuine Bourbon experience with 86 and 100 Proof at the core of the family.
Brand History
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 at 322 W. Main St. Old Forester was "America’s First Bottled Bourbon" – the first bourbon to be sold in sealed glass bottles instead of from barrels, to ensure consistent quality. It took until the U.S. Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 for U.S. 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. When Prohibition was repealed in 1933, Old Forester became the only remaining bourbon continuously sold by the same company before, during and after Prohibition. Today, the Old Forester brand and its many expressions are prized by bartenders and consumers alike for their authentic bourbon taste.
