About Ha Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2024
Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2024 is a premium Kentucky straight bourbon from Brown-Forman, bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV) after over 12 years of maturation in heat-cycled warehouses G and L, showcasing exceptional depth from extra-long aging. What makes it special is its rich, complex profile blending classic Old Forester DNA—high-rye spice, dark oak, and caramel sweetness—with unique fruit, chocolate, and pastry notes elevated by higher proof compared to prior releases like 2023's 96 proof. Ideal for serious bourbon enthusiasts and collectors seeking a rare splurge (750ml at $155.85), it delivers a bold, campfire-warming sip that's divisive for some due to oak intensity but praised as a 'damn fine' standout in limited annual editions. In its super-premium category, it competes with high-age-statement bourbons like Four Roses or Wild Turkey vintages, offering refined woodiness without excess dryness, though opinions vary on value amid rising MSRP.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
A rich medley of antique oak, vanilla bean, coconut cream pie, and strawberry preserves greets the senses, with accents of peppermint, anise, citrus peel, banana, and chocolate-coated donut adding intrigue. Bright fruits like apricot, apple, and nectarine mingle with charred oak, cocoa powder, and spice cake. Classic Old Forester acetone and nutmeg provide familiar depth.
👅 Palate
Big, brooding, and coating with powerful oak, varnish, dark chocolate, and old leather from heat-cycled barrels. Heavy rye spice brings peppermint, fennel, cinnamon candies, clove, and toasted almond, balanced by caramel, molasses, strawberry candy, orange extract, and juicy fruits. It drinks warmly for 107 proof, evoking spiced cake, cherries, pipe tobacco, and rum cake intrigue.
✨ Finish
Minty menthol and cinnamon lead a long, lingering close with drying oak, citrus, sweet tobacco, cacao, and subtle toasted almond.
