Concerning Old Forester

Numerous distilleries in the United States were still not aging their whiskey in the late 19th century. Because of this, some retailers would sweeten their whiskey with juices and syrups, while others would add tobacco and acid to give their whiskey its distinctive amber color.

A young Kentucky pharmaceutical salesman named George Garvin Brown recognized the need in 1870 for a consistently superior whiskey that would not be tampered with after distillation.

In order to create Old Forester’s consistent flavor profile, Brown and his brother saved $5,500 and established J.T.S. Brown & Bro. They then started batching barrels of bourbon from respectable Louisville distilleries. Old Forester was the first bottled bourbon available because Brown, in contrast to other bourbon manufacturers at the time, bottled his whiskey in sealed glass bottles to guarantee authenticity and quality.
