Born from cinema and distilled with distinction, Statesman began as a tie-in to Kingsman: The Golden Circle, but remains in Old Forester’s portfolio for its bold flavor and compelling identity. Crafted by blending barrels taken from the warmest zones of the rickhouses, this bourbon expresses heat, spice, and fruit in balanced harmony.
