Item Description
What a unique piece!
This barrel head measures 21" and features the stamp from Kentucky Bourbon original Old Forester.
Old Forester bourbon introduced by George Garvin Brown on Whiskey Row at 322 W. Main St. America’s First Bottled Bourbon® was the first bourbon to be sold in sealed glass bottles to ensure quality, made according to Brown’s 1870 Original Batch process of batching barrels from three distilleries to create a consistent flavor profile. The firm was named J.T.S. Brown and Bro.
Old Forester was named for Dr. William Forrester, a contemporary and customer of George Garvin Brown when he was working as a pharmaceutical salesman. When Dr. Forrester retired, Brown dropped the second “r” in the name.
