The new year brings another round of Old Forester 1924. The distillery said, “This 10-year-old age-stated bourbon is the newest addition to the brand’s Whiskey Row Series, a collection of Old Forester expressions that commemorate distinguishable moments from the brand’s 153-year history.”
Last January’s offering of Old Forester 1924 sold out in just a few weeks.
“Old Forester 1924 quickly became a consumer favorite of our beloved Whiskey Row Series,” said Assistant Master Distiller Caleb Trigo. “We are glad to see it return to stores, bars and restaurants across America.”

“With a new mash bill and 10-year age statement, 1924 features a unique taste unlike any other Old Forester expression, but fits perfectly within our storytelling Whiskey Row series. After such a quick sell-out last year, this re-release gives more whiskey drinkers the chance to taste – and love – this dynamic expression.”
About Old Forester
(From the distillery): Old Forester is Brown-Forman’s founding brand, founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown. Brown believed Old Forester was so pure and consistent that he sealed it, signed it, and pledged, “There is nothing better in the market.”
