The Old Forester Statesman opens with aromas of devil's food, clove and oak spice with an undercurrent of raw vanilla. Buttery leather on the palate is quickly dominated by a bold flash of pepper, cinnamon bark and sharp citrus. The palate reveals intense spice and eucalyptus which fade into orange cream and caramel.
Inspired by the dynamic characters in the film,”Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” Old Forester Statesman offers bold flavor blended to a smooth 95 proof from hand-selected casks of our famed Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky from the warmest places in the warehouse. Because true character is only revealed after a little heat, the Statesman product offers an exceptional balance of heat and spice.
Whisky Advocate Review:
Broad, earthy undercurrents of cigar wrapper, dark fertile soil, and spice support the honeyed sweetness and vanilla of this big-screen bourbon. Overall, the sweetness is well-tempered by cedar humidor, tea leaf, root beer spice, and berry fruit combining seamlessly on the palate. Well-balanced and easy sipping. Best neat.
