{"product_id":"old-forester-statesman-bourbon","title":"Old Forester Statesman Bourbon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld Forester Statesman is a 95-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon crafted from hand-selected casks aged in the warmest positions of the Brown-Forman warehouses — where the extreme temperature cycling of summer heat drives more aggressive oak extraction and spice character — created as the official bourbon of the Kingsman film franchise and named after the fictional bourbon distillery that appears in Kingsman: The Golden Circle.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe warehouse position selection is the key to Statesman's character: upper-floor barrels in Kentucky warehouses experience the most severe temperature cycling through the state's hot summers and cold winters — the heat drives bourbon into the wood, the cold pulls it back out, and each cycle extracts more oak tannin, caramel, and spice than center or lower-floor positions. Hand-selecting from these warmest positions produces a bourbon with more assertive oak and spice than Old Forester's standard expressions while the 95-proof bottling preserves that character without excessive dilution. An exceptional balance of heat and spice in a film collaboration that actually delivers a quality bourbon rather than just a licensed label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold caramel and oak with the warmth of upper-warehouse aging\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat and spice from the warmest warehouse positions — assertive oak and caramel with depth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming at 95 proof with a satisfying spice persistence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown-Forman, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBarrel Selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-selected from warmest warehouse positions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47.5% (95 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCollaboration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kingsman: The Golden Circle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/whiskey\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does warmest warehouse position mean for bourbon aging?\",\"acceptedAnswer\"\u003e{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Upper-floor warehouse barrels experience more severe temperature cycling than center or lower floors.
