Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2020 Reddit. I’m taking a quick break from my high west series to very cheesily review old forester birthday bourbon for my birthday! Courtesy of old forester this year marks the 20th expression of old forester’s birthday bourbon, an annual release to celebrate the founder george.
First created around 1871 it was sold exclusively in sealed bottles starting in 1873 and marketed by a pharmaceutical salesman by the name of george garvin brown. Jackie pulled out two great bottles for us to try. This was definitely a special trip to old forester.
This is another bottle i failed to hunt in 2018 but was thankfully able to enjoy at bars including a couple pours tonight.
Each year, the distillery celebrates the birthday of founder george garvin brown on september 2nd with the release of a highly sought after, limited edition expression. Suggested retail price is $129.99 and distribution is nationwide, but actually laying hands on a bottle is another matter. On louisville’s historic whiskey row. To commemorate the big anniversary, old forester put together a new release that is separate from the birthday bourbon called, naturally, old forester 150th anniversary bourbon.
