Why Old Forester 2020 Birthday Bourbon Stands Out
Old Forester Birthday Bourbon has become one of the most anticipated annual bourbon releases since its debut in 2002. Each edition is created from a carefully selected batch of barrels that highlights a unique flavor profile while remaining true to the rich heritage and signature character of Old Forester.
The 2020 release offers remarkable balance, combining layers of caramel, orchard fruit, vanilla, and oak with a smooth, approachable proof. Its elegant profile makes it enjoyable for sipping while its limited availability has made it a prized bottle among collectors. As with every Birthday Bourbon release, the 2020 edition captures a unique moment in Old Forester's history and represents the craftsmanship that has defined the brand for more than 150 years.
