Old Forester Birthday Bourbon - 2025 Release

2025 Release. Old Forester Birthday Bourbon — the annual limited edition commemorating George Garvin Brown’s birthday on September 2nd, one of the most anticipated single-distillery annual releases in American whiskey.

The Birthday Bourbon program selects barrels from a single day’s production at the Old Forester Distillery, representing a specific snapshot of the distillery’s output at a particular moment in time. Each year’s release varies in age, proof, and character depending on the barrels selected — the 2025 release continues the tradition established when the program launched in 2002.

The Wooden Cork Old Forester Birthday Bourbon vertical now spans from the 2002 (#126, Fusaichi Pegasus) through the 2025 release — one of the most comprehensive single-retailer Birthday Bourbon collections available.
