Old Forester 2025 Birthday Bourbon 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the 25th edition of Old Forester's celebrated annual Birthday Bourbon series, created in honor of founder George Garvin Brown. Distilled on April 5, 2013 and aged for 12 years, the 2025 release was drawn from 210 barrels matured on Floors 1 and 5 of Warehouse K. In a rare departure from Old Forester's traditional process, this vintage was fermented as a sweet mash without setback, relying solely on freshly propagated yeast. Bottled at 92 proof, it delivers a silky and distinctive profile of tropical fruit, green apple, vanilla, sweet citrus, clove and warming spice.
Food Pairing: Smoked pork, glazed ham, roasted duck, aged cheddar, apple tart, bread pudding, crème brûlée, toasted pecans, and dark chocolate.
Tasting Notes: Silky and sweet with an elegant balance of fruit, oak, vanilla and warming spice, developing candied fruit and caramelized sugar toward the finish.
Nose: Herbal tea and cardamom with raw oak, tropical fruit and fresh green apple.
Palate: Silky oak and vanilla balanced by sweet citrus and clove spice.
Finish: Candied apple and burnt sugar with leather and chai spice.
