Old Forester has released the 26th edition of Birthday Bourbon, the anniversary bottling the distillery puts out every year around the birthday of founder George Garvin Brown — traditionally around 2 September. The release is regarded as one of the official signals that the fall season has begun for American bourbon collectors.
The 2026 edition is an 11-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon, bottled at 97 proof (48.5% ABV), selected from 212 barrels on the third floor of Warehouse B, the oldest warehouse at the Brown-Forman distillery in Shively, Kentucky. The selection was made by master distiller emeritus Chris Morris, together with assistant master distiller Caleb Trigo.
Bourbon fans will find more options in the alcohol section at Mister Tabaco.
