Old Forester’s 12 Year Birthday Bourbon (2009) celebrates the storied legacy of George Garvin Brown, founder of Old Forester and a pioneer in the whiskey industry. Released annually in September to mark Brown’s birthday, the 2009 edition quickly became a coveted collectible among enthusiasts. Aged for 12 years and bottled at 97 proof, this release is part of the tradition that began in 2002, honoring Old Forester’s heritage as America’s first bottled bourbon. Its distinctive round bottle and individually numbered labels make each edition unique, further elevating its status in the world of American whiskey. The 2009 release is especially prized for its limited availability and connection to a lineage that traces back to Old Forester’s original 19th-century innovations. Collectors value this bottle for its history and the way it captures a celebrated moment in the brand’s ongoing evolution.
