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. It was first bottled and marketed in 1870 by the former pharmaceutical salesman turned bourbon-merchant George Garvin Brown. During the Prohibition period from 1920 to 1933, it was one of only 10 brands authorized for lawful production.

On June 8th this year, samplings from the distillery are paired with fine foods in the dining car, aboard this 2.5 hour train excursion on the North Shore of Lake Superior.
