Old George Brown himself would be proud.
Old Forester has about as much tradition as you can get in a Bourbon. It is a single brand of Bourbon that has been continuously available for 145 years — most of that time from the same family of craftsmen at the same distillery. Interestingly, it was the first Bourbon to be available exclusively in sealed glass bottles. There was a lot of nefarious re-bottling and dilution going on and this was a way to ensure quality and integrity. Today it is owned by Brown-Forman, available in eight different varieties and is a sister Bourbon to Woodford Reserve.
Old Forester Statesman came out recently in August, 2017. They created this release to coincide with the release of a new film — “Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle” which premiered in September. The master distillers at Old Forester had a bit of fun in the process, deciding to go for the bold. So they selected casks from the warmest parts of the warehouses. Some of the casks had even been exposed to sunlight. The result is an intense, spicier Bourbon that turns up the heat. And it works — American Whiskey Masters has already given this limited edition their highest honor.
