Whois & Analysis for oldforester.com

Old Forester is a brand of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced by the Brown-Forman Corporation.

It is officially the longest running Bourbon on the market today (approximately 145 years as of 2016), and was the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed bottles.

It was first bottled and marketed in 1870 by the former pharmaceutical salesman turned bourbon-merchant George Garvin Brown – the founder of the Brown-Forman Corporation (whose descendants still manage the company).

During the Prohibition period from 1920 to 1933, it was one of only 10 brands authorized for lawful production (for medicinal purposes).

Distillation is a process of separating the component or substances from a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation.

Distillation may result in essentially complete separation (nearly pure components), or it may be a partial separation that increases the concentration of selected components of the mixture.

In either case the process exploits differences in the volatility of the mixture's components.

In industrial chemistry, distillation is a unit operation of practically universal importance, but it is a physical separation process and not a chemical reaction.

Whisky or whiskey is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash.

Various grains (which may be malted) are used for different varieties, including barley, corn (maize), rye, and wheat.

Whisky is typically aged in wooden casks, generally made of charred white oak.
