Old Forester Whiskey Row Series: 1924 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky

Description

About Old Forester

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.The Whiskey Row Series’ 1924 10 – Year – Old is a limited annual release celebrating another milestone in Old Forester’s storied history. During Prohibition, more than 200 distilleries were forced to close. Old Forester, however, continued operations because the federal government issued us one of six medicinal licenses, P-3. In 1924, Old Forester acquired barrels from closed distillers, with different mash bills, and bottled that liquid as Old Forester. This release commemorates that moment in time.
