Introduced in 1870, Old Forester was the founding product of what is now Brown-Forman and is one of America's historic bourbon brands. It was one of the first to be sold only in sealed bottles, in order to ensure quality control to capitalize on the medicinal whiskey trade in the 19th century. First bottled in 2002, the Birthday Bourbon are released on 2nd September annually to mark the birthday of the distillery's founder, George Garvin Brown.
