Heritage Bourbon

Old Forester 1870 Original Batch is the most historically grounded and story-driven expression in the Old Forester Whisky Row Series a Kentucky straight bourbon specifically crafted to honor the founding vision of George Garvin Brown, who in 1870 became the first distiller to sell bourbon exclusively in sealed glass bottles as a personal quality guarantee to his customers. The 1870 expression recreates the style of bourbon that Brown originally bottled by blending barrels from three separate warehouses  each contributing a distinct character to produce a batch profile that reflects the complexity and balance of that original production philosophy.

At $213, the Old Forester 1870 Original Batch is the essential acquisition for bourbon collectors who value American whiskey history and distillery heritage as much as liquid quality, and for gift buyers who want a bottle with a genuine founding story that adds meaning and context to every pour.
