Description
The Story Behind the Label
Old Forester 1870 Original Batch takes its name from the year the brand was founded, honoring George Garvin Brown’s original vision of selling bourbon exclusively in sealed bottles to guarantee quality and consistency — a radical idea at the time. This expression carries that legacy forward, blending mature barrels chosen specifically for balance and depth — a bottle collectors buy Old Forester 1870 for as an accessible entry point into the brand’s Whiskey Row Series.
Tasting Profile & Sensory Architecture
The glass shows a warm, amber-gold hue with a rich, inviting pour. The nose opens with caramel, vanilla, and a distinctive layer of toasted oak and dried fruit. On the palate, expect a balanced layering of brown sugar, baking spice, and soft citrus, carried through to a smooth, warming finish with lingering oak and gentle spice. It’s a bourbon built for balance — equally suited to a neat pour or a classic Old Fashioned.
