Old Forester Debuts Tribute Series, a 12-Year-Old Bourbon and New Decanter

LOUISVILLE, Ky. , Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Old Forester, America's First Bottled Bourbon, introduces the Tribute Series, a new annual ultra-premium age-stated release representing the pinnacle of the brand's craft. The Tribute Series debuts with a 12-year-old, 115 proof bourbon. Presented in a timeless decanter inspired by the brand's iconic holiday collection, the series pairs one of the brand's most mature whisky with mid-century sophistication.

The Tribute Series is just that: a tribute to the best of Old Forester and a celebration of the brand's legacy of firsts, from its first twice-barreled expression to the unique heat-cycled maturation that shapes its flavor over time. Anchored in more than 150 years of bourbon-making and design, the series brings together exceptional whisky and Old Forester's historic eye for distinctive packaging to create a meaningful, modern collectible designed to be as memorable as the bourbon it holds.

"The Tribute Series celebrates the craftsmanship and innovation that has defined Old Forester for generations," said Caleb Trigo, Assistant Master Distiller. "By bringing together some of our most mature whisky and drawing inspiration from an important chapter in our design history, we've created an expression that honors where Old Forester has been while showcasing what makes our whisky distinctive today."
