A Cinematic Collaboration Rooted in Bourbon Heritage

Originally created to play a starring role alongside the secret agents in Matthew Vaughn’s blockbuster film Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Old Forester Statesman is far more than a novelty—it is a genuinely exceptional, expertly crafted Kentucky straight bourbon. Drawing on Old Forester’s unmatched history as America’s first bottled bourbon, master distillers designed this expression to reflect the bold, refined character of the Statesman fictional whiskey brand.

Hand-Selected from the Warmest Rickhouse Tiers

What sets Statesman apart is its unique barrel-selection process. The blending team hand-picks barrels exclusively from the warmest, most active upper floors of the historic Louisville and Shively rickhouses. The intense summer heat on these top tiers accelerates the interaction between the wood and the spirit, drawing out deep, robust flavors and a distinct amber hue before the bourbon is expertly proofed down to a smooth 95 proof.

An Exquisite, Fruit-Forward Tasting Profile

Old Forester Statesman delivers a vibrant, complex, and deeply inviting sensory journey:

• Color: Deep, glowing amber with warm copper highlights.

• Nose: Intensely aromatic and bright. Waves of rich caramel, sweet vanilla, and butterscotch mingle with prominent, fresh notes of crisp green apple, ripe orange peel, and subtle floral undertones.

• Palate: Immeasurably smooth, velvety, and lush on the entry. The palate coats the mouth with layers of baked apple crisp, cinnamon-spiced brown sugar, and rich oak, balanced gracefully by a touch of peppery spice.

• Finish: Clean, warming, and medium-long, leaving a lingering, satisfying echo of sweet fruit, toasted nuts, and mellow oak tannin.

A Stylish Must-Have for Any Back Bar or Collection

Whether you are a dedicated fan of the Kingsman franchise or simply an aficionado hunting for a uniquely rich, fruit-forward bourbon, Old Forester Statesman is a standout choice. Excellent for sipping neat, pouring over a large rock, or elevating a premium cocktail, it brings cinematic style and top-tier craftsmanship to any glass.
