Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2025 Release marks the 25th milestone iteration of this highly sought-after vintage-dated expression, released each year on September 2nd to commemorate founder George Garvin Brown's birthday. Hand-selected from a limited allotment of barrels filled in a single day, this anniversary release highlights Old Forester’s signature high-rye mashbill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley. Aged in new charred white oak barrels within the distillery's historic heat-cycled warehouses, this expression delivers a rich balance of dark fruit, toasted brown sugar, deep baking spice, and mature oak complexity.
Food Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with braised short ribs, dark chocolate tarts, pecan pie, aged Gouda, or a charcuterie board featuring cured meats and fig preserve.
Tasting Notes: A complex and mature bourbon offering a balance of caramelized dark sugars, rich stone fruit, warming baking spices, and well-integrated oak tannins.
Nose: Inviting aromas of dark brown sugar, sweet vanilla bean, ripe plums, toasted oak, and a warm dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Palate: Full-bodied and velvety with layers of dark cherry, chewy caramel, cocoa powder, toasted nuts, and seasoned oak.
Finish: Long, warm, and lingering with notes of dry oak, warm spice, dark chocolate, and subtle citrus zest.
Serve: Best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn glass or with a few drops of room-temperature water to open up its complex aromas.
