Old 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.

*Please Note: This is a 50ml bottle*

Bourbon Cream is handcrafted using Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon, making it a perfect marriage of rich delicious cream and smooth Kentucky bourbon.

You can enjoy it chilled, on the rocks, or pour it in a cup of coffee for an indulgent after dinner treat. Try the Buffalo Float- “the adult root beer float.”

Rhetoric 21 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the second in the Rhetoric Series of progressively aged whiskeys from the Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Company. Diageo's Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Company is a series of bottles that came from barrels that were abandoned or forgotten at rickhouses and distilleries. The next iteration of Orphan Barrel’s progressively aged series, Rhetoric, Aged 21 Years speaks to whiskey enthusiasts with much persuasiveness as another year in the barrel bursts with new smells, flavors and tastes. Aromas of cherry, sweet tobacco, honey and leather build upon the oak, fruit, vanilla and caramel of its counterpart with new tastes of sweet tobacco, dark chocolate, baking spices and honey.

Bottled in 2014, Old Blowhard is the first of the rare vintages of Diageo's Orphan Barrel Series, a series of bottles that come from barrels of bourbon discovered from abandoned or forgotten rickhouses and distilleries. Blustery, boastful, and unapologetic, Old Blowhard Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has been around too long to suffer fools. In the warehouses of mass-production, you might say there isn't much room for a whiskey full of flavor and big on personality. For 26 years, this well-traveled whiskey has been demanding attention, too bold to play well with others. This is arguably the rarest of the Orphan Barrel Series, as it was bottled in 2014 for one year only and is no longer made.

From Jim:

As I continue to learn and “do research” on bourbon, I’ve grown to appreciate stronger pours. That’s why I decided to bottle some of Fourth & Long at cask strength (125.6 proof).

I affectionately refer to this expression as “Empty Nester Strength.” When children finally leave the home, parents enter a unique stage in their journey. While empty nesters are often characterized as being victoriously liberated from parental responsibilities, they sometimes also experience a level of grief. The grip of love and fear that permeates parenting grows a little tighter. And some nights that calls for a stronger bourbon.

• Distilled: Kentucky 
• Aged: Kentucky & Virginia 
• Bottled: Virginia (THE REVERIES) 
• Single Barrel, Barrel Strength 
• ABV: 68% ABV | 136 Proof 
• Tasting Notes: Monstrous and powerful, loaded with orange peel and apple peel, brown sugar, heavy imposing oak and rich pipe tobacco. Generous caramels and decadent dessert character. 

Each year an unstoppable search for whiskey wonder beckons The Boss Hog to the far corners of the earth... a karmic quest that Knows No Bounds, beginning with Single Barrel Rye.

For this, our eleventh utterance of the mantra, WhistlePig's whiskey makers journey to Rajasthan, India - the Land of Kings - in search of precious spices to forge the world’s first Thandai barrel aged Rye. An alluring elixir served in celebration of victory and creation, Thandai joins the shakti of Straight Rye Whiskey with a floral meditation of saffron, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg, further enlivened by fennel, poppy and black peppercorn. The result is a splendid wellspring of strength and majesty; a saga befitting the maharajah of Rye.

Fearlessly First Among all Whiskeys, Powerfully Complex and Bottled at Proof, The Juggernaut hails to the grandest of all The Boss Hog promises... Stupendous!

*All Fathertime Boubon Bottles Signed by Jim Gaffigan!*

Fathertime is a Kentucky bourbon from comedian Jim Gaffigan. Middle Child Mystery is the third expression, sold as a 750ml bottle.

New parents are often told, "Children are like pancakes. You always mess up the first one." Based on this Pancake Logic, a second or third child would be an improvement, right? Not if you listen to birth order conspiracies (aka “theories”). According to those, the middle child has "issues" because they don't receive enough attention. Like most parents, Jim would never ignore one of his children. Unless they were asking for a screen. Or money. Or if he was watching football. Well, despite all this birth order nonsense (“theory”), Jim’s middle child somehow earned the right to be his phone's wallpaper image, much to the dismay of the other pancakes. The middle child is often a mystery; but then again, so is most of parenting... which is probably why Jesus invented bourbon.

The same principles that inspired the previous editions of Fathertime have also guided the creation of this new release, Middle Child Mystery. This endeavor is still just Jim and Stu tasting barrels and putting together a smooth and delicious bourbon. This batch is just as precious as the first, and each bottle is personally signed by Jim, which was a pain in the ass but totally worth it – much like fatherhood.

Jim fell in love with bourbon after he and his wife Jeannie learned an occasional drink provided a momentary break from parenting teenagers. If you have children, you understand. To those who humbly accept the paternal responsibility, we raise a glass to you. A father’s joy is earned.

Each year, Old Forester releases a limited edition Birthday Bourbon to commemorate the birthday of George Garvin Brown on September 2nd. These releases are known for their unique character, which varies from year to year based on the selection of barrels and the conditions under which they were aged.

Age: 12 Years
Proof: 107 Proof
ABV: 53.5%
We can anticipate a bourbon that has been carefully aged to develop a rich and complex flavor profile. The 107 proof indicates a bourbon that is likely to offer a robust taste experience, with a higher alcohol content contributing to an intensified expression of the whiskey's inherent flavors.

Nose: Aromatic richness with notes of dark fruit, vanilla, and oak, often complemented by hints of caramel and spice.
Palate: A complex blend of flavors such as chocolate, caramel, and dark cherry, with underlying notes of leather, tobacco, and spices. The palate is usually well-balanced, showcasing Old Forester's signature depth and warmth.
Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering sweetness and a smooth integration of oak and spice notes.

Old Forester will release the 21st iteration of its limited-edition, vintage-dated Birthday Bourbon on Sept. 2 in celebration of founder George Garvin Brown’s birthday. This year marks the 151st year of the company he began in 1870.

The 2021 Birthday Bourbon will be bottled at 104 proof and is made up of 119 barrels, aged 12 years, and barreled on April 16, 2009. After showing exceptionally unique character during a tasting panel, the 12-year-old barrels were chosen specifically for this year’s Birthday Bourbon.
