Old Forester is a brand of bourbon whiskey that originated in the United States. Established in 1870 by George Garvin Brown, it is known for being the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed bottles. This innovation helped ensure quality and consistency, setting a standard for the industry. The distillery is located in Louisville, Kentucky, and Old Forester is produced using a traditional recipe that includes a high percentage of corn. The whiskey is aged in new charred oak barrels, which contributes to its rich flavor profile, characterized by notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak.
