Old Forester 150 Anniversary Batch Proof Full Set Batches 01-02-03

Full Set. Batches 01, 02, and 03. Old Forester 150th Anniversary Batch Proof — the complete three-bottle set commemorating Old Forester's 150th anniversary in 2020, presenting three distinct cask strength expressions from single day's production at different proof points as a complete collection.

Old Forester was founded by George Garvin Brown in 1870 as the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed glass bottles — making 2020 the distillery's 150th anniversary year. The 150th Anniversary Batch Proof series honored this milestone by selecting three batches of single day's production, each bottled at natural barrel proof and presented as a complete set documenting the natural proof variation across different barrels from the same production period.

Having all three batches as a complete set is the intended collector format — the three-bottle presentation was the original purchase format for the Anniversary edition and is now increasingly difficult to find intact as individual bottles separate from the set over time.
