A new documentary exploring the 156-year history Old Forester – the only bourbon to exist before, during and after Prohibition – debuts today.

The film, by the Balas Brothers of Brooklyn and their Whiskeyland series, is being released to celebrate the return of 1924, Old Forester's 10-year-old age-stated bourbon, part of the celebrated Whiskey Row series.

"We're honored to share the story of Old Forester, founded by George Garvin Brown in 1870, with a wider audience," Assistant Master Distiller Caleb Trigo said. Old Forester is the founding brand of Brown-Forman, one of the world's largest spirits companies, and the company is still controlled by the Brown family.

Whiskeyland is a documentary series exploring the people, places, and histories behind American whiskey through intimate, story-driven filmmaking.

The Old Forester episode launched today on Whiskeyland TV youtube channel with streaming platforms (including: Amazon Prime, Relay and Tubi) coming soon. Watch Whiskeyland's full episode: HERE.
