Established in 1870, Old Forester pioneered sealed glass bottles. Annually, Birthday Bourbon commemorates founder George Garvin Brown's birthday. The 2023 release, a unique 96-proof small batch, handpicked by Chris Morris and Melissa Rift, showcases 12-year barrels with bright candied citrus, floral notes, turbinado sugar, roasted coffee, cedar, and charred oak. The palate features subtle citrus, dark honey, molasses, and a dry, toasty oaked caramel with lingering bittersweet tannins.
