Old Forester 1870 Original Batch Bourbon Whiskey is part of the Whiskey Row Series, crafted to honor the brand’s rich history as America’s first bottled bourbon. Founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown in Louisville, Kentucky, Old Forester was the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed glass bottles, ensuring consistent quality and authenticity at a time when whiskey was often sold from barrels of questionable origin. The 1870 Original Batch expression recreates the style and blending methods used in that pioneering era, making it both a tribute to history and a refined modern bourbon.

This bourbon is crafted from barrels sourced from different warehouses, ages, and production runs to mirror the original batching process George Garvin Brown employed to ensure consistency. Bottled at 90 proof, it strikes a balance of richness and smoothness, with classic bourbon flavors of oak, vanilla, baking spice, and caramelized sweetness layered in harmony. The Whiskey Row packaging reflects its heritage with vintage-inspired design, reinforcing its role as both a collectible bottle and an accessible everyday sipper.

For bourbon enthusiasts and history lovers alike, Old Forester 1870 Original Batch delivers more than just flavor—it captures the legacy of innovation that shaped the modern whiskey industry. It is a cornerstone of Old Forester’s Whiskey Row Series and a perfect introduction to one of Kentucky’s most enduring bourbon houses.
