Old Forester Tribute Series: 2026 Release
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 double barrel expression to the unique heat-cycled maturation that shapes its flavor over time. The 2026 release of Tribute is aged for twelve years in our heat-cycled warehouses, creating Old Forester’s most sophisticated flavor profile to date.
Drawing inspiration from the brand’s historic holiday decanter collection, the bespoke bottle reinterprets classic mid-century sophistication through a bold, architectural form that feels both familiar and enduringly modern.
