If anyone asks who makes my favorite Bourbon, the answer is always the same: Old Forester. I just love those guys. The issue over the last few years has been that they have not been releasing private barrels. To tell you the truth, even their regular bottlings have become really hard to find. Their Birthday Bourbon has legitimately become even harder to find then Pappy and can be just as expensive too.
This is a super-limited annual release that comes out every January. The 2026 Edition is as good as its ever been, but unfortunately, we have so few bottles to go around.
