What Makes This Different

Named to honor Old Forester's founding year in 1870. The 1870 expression sits in the middle of Old Forester's Birthday Bourbon series and uses the same standard mashbill as the flagship 86 proof. It batches three distinct barrel warehouses together to replicate how Brown and Forman originally created consistency by blending barrels from multiple rickhouses. Old Forester is historically significant as the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed glass bottles, pioneering consumer safety in spirits.
