    Old Forester Birthday Bourbon is a limited-edition, vintage-dated bourbon that's released annually to commemorate the birthday of George Garvin Brown, the founder of Old Forester. The bourbon celebrates the legacy of being the first whisky sealed in a glass bottle.
    The 2023 Birthday Bourbon is 96 proof and is made from 12-year old barrels that were chosen specifically for the bourbon. The whiskey has a harmonious blend of dark fruit, oak, and spice, balanced by the sweetness of brown sugar.
    Here are some reviews of the 2022 Birthday Bourbon:
    It's richer and has more fruit than the Elijah Craig 18 Year.
    It's more nuanced than Michter's 10 Year.
    It's complex.
    It needs more oomph if you're used to bourbons with big proof.

    Today’s picks were not great at least at my primary store. The best out of them was a Buzzards roost char #1 bourbon not a bad bottle but it sits on the shelf. I don’t think it was a state pick. From the reviews on that OF Bday bourbon it’s just okay. Not one I look for anyway. And any higher proof BT is just better. I’m guessing that store will be a nightmare on Black Friday!! Enjoy!!

    Great video MajorXero! I believe I’m the idiot that keeps yelling at you about the Old Tub. It’s a great Jimmy Beam product that only started being distributed because of the 2020 “health debacle” we all went through. It use to be distributed, then they decided to make it a distillery only release… but the shutdown gave us all a gift as they had too much of it and decided to start shipping it out again. We won something from that crap show of a time.
