Description
The Story Behind the Label
Old Forester Statesman rounds out the brand’s Whiskey Row Series, honoring George Garvin Brown’s role as a respected figure in both the bourbon industry and civic life. Bottled at a robust 95 proof from a blend of mature barrels selected for depth and character, this expression sits between the brand’s standard and cask-strength offerings — a bottle collectors buy Old Forester Statesman for as a bolder step up within the Whiskey Row lineup.
Tasting Profile & Sensory Architecture
The glass shows a deep, amber-gold hue with a rich, viscous pour. The nose opens with dark caramel, toasted oak, and a distinctive layer of dried fruit and baking spice. On the palate, expect a bold balance of brown sugar, warm cinnamon, and toasted vanilla, carried through to a long, warming finish with lingering oak and gentle heat from its elevated proof. It’s a bourbon built for depth — equally suited to a neat pour or a robust Old Fashioned.
