In 1870 George Garvin Brown created Old Forester on Louisville, KY’s, famous Whiskey Row. In honor of that milestone year in bourbon history, we have crafted a tribute – Old Forester 1870 Original Batch. Baking spices (clove, cinnamon, nutmeg) flow into a citrus-fruit mix and shortbread sweetness. Soft, with lingering fruit and spice character.
