Old Forester Bourbon MasterClass

Join Ken Gordon for an evening exploring one of America's most historic bourbon brands with Don Jean of Brown-Forman, as he leads an in-depth Old Forester Bourbon MasterClass.

Don will guide guests through the rich history of American whiskey, the legacy of Old Forester, and the craftsmanship behind Brown-Forman's iconic distillery. Along the way, he'll explore the distinctive character of each expression in the lineup and discuss how production, proof, and maturation shape the final whiskey. 

The highlight of the evening will be a rare side-by-side tasting of four Gordon's Old Forester Single Barrel selections (including our recent 2026 release).  Don will explain how factors such as warehouse location, floor, temperature, and barrel aging create dramatically different aromas, flavors, and finishes from barrel to barrel—a fascinating demonstration of why single-barrel bourbon is truly unique. 

To make the evening even more memorable, attendees will also have the opportunity to win the right to purchase a limited number of bottles from past Gordon's Old Forester Single Barrel selections—rare barrels that are no longer available on our shelves.

Don't miss this opportunity to taste through the Old Forester portfolio with one of Brown-Forman's most knowledgeable ambassadors while experiencing four Gordon's private single barrels side by side—a tasting that clearly illustrates how every barrel tells its own story.
