Old Forester’s Timeless program is an initiative inspired by the collaboration between Old Forester and Shinola. More than just a collaboration; it's an invitation to experience the best of American artistry and design.
Late last year, Old Forester invited bartenders from across the Bay Area to the Shinola store in San Francisco where they learned about the shared ethos of both Old Forester & Shinola; their history and unrivaled reputation.
After perusing the beautiful Shinola Store and tasting through the Old Forester Whisky Row expressions (four small batch whiskies commemorating milestones in the brand’s history), the bartenders were challenged to create a modern classic cocktail with their favorite Whisky Row expression.
Learn more about the Timeless program, explore the Old Forester Whisky Row collection, and enter to win a Shinola Watch and Old Forester Prize Pack with an estimated value of $1,500. (No purchase necessary. Must be 21+ and a legal resident of the US, residing in California to enter. See full Terms and Conditions).
It is Old Forester’s belief that true quality endures. The Timeless program pays homage to this principle and shines a spotlight squarely on the talented bartenders that answered the call to create something memorable.
