Let’s dive into what makes this bourbon special and how you can enjoy it best in our luxurious dining environment.
Old Forester Statesman: A Bourbon with History and Heritage
Old Forester, founded in 1870, is one of the most storied bourbon brands in American history. But the Statesman release takes this heritage to the next level. Originally launched in conjunction with the movie Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Old Forester Statesman has quickly gained a reputation for being much more than just a marketing tie-in. This is a bourbon with real substance, embodying the bold, rich flavors that Old Forester is known for, with a unique twist.
Aged in barrels selected from the hottest locations in the Old Forester warehouse, the bourbon is subjected to the extreme temperatures that amplify the interaction between the wood and the spirit. The result? A whiskey that is rich in caramel and oak, with spicy undertones and a long, smooth finish. It’s robust and daring, yet refined—perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in a carefully crafted cocktail.

Enjoy It Neat:
For the purist, Old Forester Statesman is best enjoyed neat, allowing you to fully appreciate its complexity. With an aroma that blends oak, vanilla, and charred spices, your first sip will open up to notes of rich caramel, dark fruit, and a hint of peppery spice. The long finish leaves you with lingering warmth and a whisper of oak, making this bourbon perfect for slow sipping in our refined bar or dining room.
On the Rocks:
Prefer a bit of chill to your drink? Enjoy Old Forester Statesman on the rocks. The slow melting of the ice will open up the bourbon’s flavors, gradually softening the bold spice while enhancing the sweetness of the caramel and vanilla. Pair it with our rich, meaty offerings like the Bone-In Ribeye for a match made in heaven. The high-proof bourbon stands up beautifully to the intensity of a well-marbled steak, creating a balance of flavors that’s truly satisfying.
