Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2025
$999.00
Unit price perOld Forester is honored to release its most anticipated annual whisky: Birthday Bourbon. This year's expression is 12 years old and 92 proof and the bottle offers a unique twist that sets it apart from previous years.
In a rare departure from tradition, this year's batch was created without the use of "setback" during fermentation — a standard practice that ensures consistency. Instead, a "sweet mash" process was used, relying solely on freshly-propagated yeast.
This anomaly resulted in a silky and sweet flavor profile that shines at 92 proof.
These rare barrels from one day's production (April 5, 2013) were selected by Master Distiller Emeritus Chris Morris and Assistant Master Distiller Caleb Trigo.
It was drawn from 210 barrels aged in Warehouse K, Floors 1 and 5.
"For our 25th Birthday Bourbon release, the absence of setback allowed the yeast to express its full character, creating a flavor profile that's both delicate and complex," Trigo said.
