A smooth yet powerfully flavorful dram.

Old Forester Statesman Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a uniquely crafted expression that proves tie-in spirits can be absolute masterpieces. Originally created to celebrate the release of the 2017 film Kingsman: The Golden Circle—where the stylized “Statesman” agents operate out of a historic Kentucky distillery—this bourbon has earned a permanent place in the Old Forester lineup due to its incredible flavor profile.
To achieve its signature bold and punchy character, master blenders select barrels exclusively from the highest, warmest floors of the aging warehouses. The intense heat on these top levels accelerates evaporation and forces the liquid deep into the charred oak staves. The result is a highly concentrated, 95-proof bourbon that masterfully balances a fiery, dynamic spice with a deep, mature sweetness.
Tasting Profile
Appearance: Deep copper with rich bronze highlights.
Aroma: A complex and inviting nose dominated by warm devil’s food cake, dark honey, and clove, accented by a bright undercurrent of orange zest and fresh pine.
Palate: Big, bold, and heavily texturized. Upfront notes of sweet vanilla cream, caramel, and baked orchard fruits are quickly met by an intense, savory wave of black pepper, cinnamon, and well-aged oak.
Finish: Long, warming, and distinctly robust. The bold wood spice takes center stage, leaving behind a lingering, dry finish of dark leather, baking chocolate, and a pleasant flash of rye heat.
Old Forester Statesman is a versatile, high-character bourbon that commands attention. While it is incredibly rewarding to sip entirely neat or with a single cube of ice, its bold proof and heavy oak profile make it an absolute powerhouse when mixed into classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned.
