Old Forester Birthday Bourbon.

Every release of Old Forester Birthday Bourbon is a single day, captured. One mash bill, one distillation date, one specific set of barrels pulled from a rickhouse on a specific date, all bottled together each September to mark the birthday of founder George Garvin Brown. There's no blending across batches, no averaging out a soft year against a heavy one. Whatever the wood, the weather, and the floor did to those barrels for ten or twelve years is exactly what ends up in the glass.

For collectors and enthusiasts, that's the point. A 2007 doesn't pour like a 2019; a 96-proof year doesn't sit on the tongue the way a 105-proof year does. Below is the working reference we keep at Cana, every Birthday Bourbon since the program began in 2002, with proof, age, and the barrel-entry details that explain why each year drinks the way it does.
