Swizzle Stick Drink Stirrer, Old Forester Bourbon, Purple Orchid, Vintage 1950s

A 1950s Old Forester Bourbon promotional swizzle stick from Louisville, Kentucky — a small, elegant nod to one of America's oldest bourbon brands.

• Brand: Old Forester Bourbon Whiskey, Brown-Forman, Louisville, Kentucky
• Materials: Hard plastic, purple
• Origin: USA
• Era: 1950s
• Condition: Used, good vintage condition. Lettering has worn and is very hard to read — photographed for your review. The orchid remains intact and beautiful. Please review all photos before purchasing, as all sales are final.

This swizzle stick features a purple orchid at the top and the tagline "Nothing Better..." The lettering on the body has faded with time, but the orchid remains fully intact.

A fun find for the swizzle stick collector, the Old Forester enthusiast, or anyone building a bar display with authentic mid-century character.

Old Forester, produced by Brown-Forman in Louisville, Kentucky, holds the distinction of being America's first bottled bourbon, sold exclusively in sealed bottles beginning in 1870 to guarantee quality and prevent the common practice of diluting whiskey after it left the distillery. The brand's promotional swizzle sticks carried this same attention to presentation into the cocktail lounge, with a lightly whimsical touch — a purple orchid a world away from the seriousness of the whiskey itself.
