What is Old Forester Birthday Bourbon worth?

Old Forester Birthday Bourbon holds its value because each year's bottling is different and made in limited numbers. It is released every year around September 2, the birthday of George Garvin Brown, who founded Old Forester in Louisville, Kentucky. The age and proof change from one release to the next, so collectors buy it year by year and some chase every bottling.

What your bottle is worth depends on the year and its condition. A sealed bottle with the capsule and any tax strip intact, a full fill, a clean label and a sound cork brings the most. An original box helps where the release came with one. Since every year is its own bottle, tell us the year or send a photo of the label.

Our typical offer for a sealed, full Old Forester Birthday Bourbon is $225 cash. Send us a few photos and you'll have a firm offer within 48 hours, with a packing kit shipped to your door.
