The first bottled bourbon. Estd 1870. The whisky is distilled by us only, and we are responsible for its richness and fine quality. Its elegant flavor is solely due to original fineness developed with care. There is nothing better in the market. - George Garvin Brown, Founder. Continuously sold before, during, and after prohibition. Nearly 150 years ago, my great-great-grandfather, George Garvin Brown, was the first to seal his Bourbon in a glass bottle, ensuring consistency and exceptional quality. He felt so strongly in his convictions that he signed his name to it. Today I am proud to add my signature as proof that our commitment to the Old Forester legacy lives on. - Campbell P. Brown, President, Old Forester.
