How it is soldOld Forester

Birthday Bourbon is sold through an online sweepstakes: winners may buy one bottle and must collect it in person at the distillery at 119 W Main Street, Louisville, and there is no in-store release on September 2. Further bottles may be sold at the distillery on random days and at random times, through the gift shop or with tastings, tours or events, without notice. The 117 Series is released two or three times a year and is sold only at Old Forester Distillery.
