Old Forester - Bourbon Whiskey

Old Forester is a brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey manufactured by Brown-Forman Corporation. The brand has been around longer than any other bourbon (roughly 150 years as of 2020) and was the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed bottles.

It was first bottled and marketed in 1870 by former pharmaceutical executive turned bourbon merchant George Garvin Brown, founder of the Brown-Forman Corporation (whose descendants still run the company). During Prohibition from 1920 to 1933, Brown-Forman received one of only six licenses allowing legal manufacture (for medicinal purposes).
