Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 12 Year (2013) pays homage to the birthday of the brand’s founder, George Garvin Brown, with each annual release. Introduced in limited quantities, Birthday Bourbon quickly became a highlight in the bourbon calendar, sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. The 2013 edition, bottled at 98 proof, showcases Old Forester’s commitment to tradition, aging each drop for 12 years before release. Its distinctive, squat bottle and purple neck wrap make it instantly recognizable on any shelf. Only a select number of barrels were chosen for this vintage, capturing a unique moment in Old Forester’s storied history. Each bottle from this series is numbered and dated, making the 2013 release a prized addition for those who appreciate the heritage and legacy of one of Kentucky’s most historic distilleries.
