Description
Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2021 is a limited allocation distilled at the Brown-Forman Shively Distillery (DSP-KY-354). Distilled on April 16, 2009, this 12-year-old expression was comprised of a 119-barrel lot sourced exclusively from the 2nd floor of Warehouse G. This specific maturation environment is technically significant; the 2021 release is noted for its “fruit-forward” profile due to the moderate climate of the lower warehouse tiers, which allowed for a more subtle extraction of wood tannins compared to the aggressive oak found in higher-floor releases.
Bottled at 104 proof, this edition emphasizes the mash bill’s spicy potential while concentrating the signature Old Forester esters. The structural framework is defined by a dense viscosity and a profile rich in dark berries, toasted caramel, and caramelized banana, refined by twelve years of controlled oxidation in heat-cycled rickhouses.
