About Old Forester 1870 Whisky Row Series
Old Forester 1870 Original Batch is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey that honors the brand's founding year and pays homage to George Garvin Brown's original batching process. At 45% ABV (90 proof), this expression combines liquid from three different warehouses, each barrel originating from a different production day, entry proof, and age profile—mirroring Brown's 1870 practice of batching barrels from multiple distilleries. The result is a well-balanced, approachable bourbon with elegant spice and citrus notes. It's ideal for bourbon enthusiasts seeking a historically-inspired whiskey that bridges tradition and modern craftsmanship, positioned as an accessible entry point to the premium bourbon category at $36.00 per 750ml bottle.
