About Old Forester Birthday Bourbon Whiskey (2020 Release)
Each year Old Forester releases a Birthday Bourbon in honor of George Gavin Brown’s birthday ― September 2. This year is special, however. It’s not just the 20th release in this series, but the 150th anniversary of Old Forester.
The 2020 edition of the Old Forester Birthday expression had Master Distiller Chris Morris and Master Taster Jackie Zykan pick out 95 barrels, aged 10 years ― just one day’s production of their bourbon, this batch being barrelled on June 5, 2010. Chosen for its unique character, the straight bourbon is bottled at 98 proof.

Tasting Notes
It’s a delicately-balanced nose with floral notes, magnolia, citrus, vanilla, leather, cocoa, and spice, balanced by a brown-sugar sweetness, caramel, and a touch of tropical fruit.
Caramel and toffee are on the palate with the tropical sweetness developing into banana, mango, and coconut notes with a nutty undercurrent. Finishes long and drying with a touch of anise.
