product Details

Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon circa 1978 / Dortmund Hansa Bier Import

Old Forester is one of bourbon's historic brands. It was one of the first to ever be sold by the bottle in order to ensure quality control to capitalise on the medicinal whiskey trade in the 19th century. It was even named after local Louisville physician, Dr. William Forrester (they dropped the second 'R' fro the name when he retired). Produced by Brown-Forman at their distillery in Shively, Kentucky.

This particular Old Forester was bottled in or just after 1978.

Oddly, this is a Dortmund Hansa Bier (a German brewery) import for the Italian market.
