First released in 2002, Old Forester Birthday Bourbon honors the September 2nd birthday of founder George Garvin Brown. The 2018 edition, aged for 12 years and bottled at 101 proof, continues this annual tradition of celebrating the brand’s storied Louisville roots. Each year’s release is eagerly anticipated by collectors and enthusiasts alike, both for its unique character and its limited availability. The 2018 bottle stands out for its classic wide-shouldered decanter with gold accents, a wax-dipped cork, and a prominent 12-year age statement on its neck. As with all Birthday Bourbon releases, the whiskey was drawn from a single day’s production, making each vintage distinct and highly sought-after. This particular bottling is prized not only as a tribute to Old Forester’s heritage but also as a collector’s centerpiece, reflecting over a century of history in every pour.
