For the first time since its release, bourbon lovers across the country will be able to win a chance to purchase the limited-edition expression zzubreebym
LOUISVILLE, KY , Aug. 24, 2022 George Garvin Brown was the first to seal his whisky, Old Forester, in a glass bottle in 1870. To commemorate his birthday, the First Bottled Bourbon annually releases a limited edition, vintage-dated expression: Birthday Bourbon. Hand selected by Master Distiller Chris Morris, this small batch bourbon offers a unique character and flavor profile that will never be replicated.
The September 2nd release marks the 22nd limited edition expression, but this year's celebration will look different than years past. For the first time, Old Forester's Birthday Bourbon will be available to purchase through a sweepstakes running from August 24, 2022 through August 31, 2022. This gives people nationwide the opportunity to win the right to purchase the most coveted expression of Old Forester.
Because of the new policy, no Birthday Bourbon bottles will be sold at the distillery on September 2.
Prize winners will be notified via e-mail on September 2, 2022.
"Birthday Bourbon holds a special place among Old Forester's limited-releases, celebrating the legacy of the Brown family," Morris said. "We're excited to open up the opportunity for bourbon lovers all over the country to get their hands on this beloved bourbon."
