Old Forester 1924

Old Forester 1924 is the latest addition to the Whiskey Row Series from Old Forester, a brand with a storied history dating back to 1870. Distilled and bottled by Brown-Forman at their Shively Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, this bourbon introduces a new chapter for the series with its unique mashbill and 10-year age statement. Released in January 2024 as an annual limited edition, it is bottled at 100 proof and priced around $115. Old Forester 1924 leverages a mashbill of 79% corn, 11% rye, and 10% malted barley—a departure from the brand’s standard recipe. This mashbill, also used in Brown-Forman’s Early Times bourbon, offers a subtle variation within the Old Forester portfolio. The 10-year age statement is another standout feature, marking a return to double-digit age statements for the brand and aligning with the growing demand for well-aged bourbons. The Whiskey Row Series is known for celebrating key moments in Old Forester’s history, and 1924 pays homage to the year the brand acquired barrels from closed distilleries during Prohibition. This release combines historical significance with a modern approach, making it a high end choice for bourbon collectors who value both tradition and innovation. Its limited availability and unique attributes make it a noteworthy addition to any collection.
