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. Old Forester 100 Proof is handpicked from select barrels resulting in a spicy and robust Bourbon. It is bottled at 100 Proof to maintain its distinct character and cater to those who enjoy a higher proof.
