Old Forester Statesman Bourbon Whiskey

Old Forester is “America’s First Bottled Bourbon,” and the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company before, during, and after Prohibition. In 1870, George Garvin Brown created Old Forester on Louisville’s famous Whiskey Row at 322 W. Main St. It was the first bourbon to be sold in sealed glass bottles instead of from barrels, ensuring consistent quality. It wasn’t until the U.S. Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 that government regulations caught up, making sealed bottles a requirement.

One of America’s founding bourbons, Old Forester continued to thrive until 1920, when Prohibition began. While many distilleries closed, Brown-Forman applied for and received a license from the U.S. government to continue producing Old Forester for medicinal purposes. When Prohibition was repealed in 1933, Old Forester became the only remaining bourbon continuously sold by the same company before, during, and after Prohibition.

Today, the Old Forester brand and its many expressions are prized by bartenders and consumers alike for their authentic bourbon taste.

Inspired by the dynamic characters in the film,”Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” Old Forester Statesman offers bold flavor blended to a smooth 95 proof from hand-selected casks of our famed Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky from the warmest places in the warehouse. Because true character is only revealed after a little heat, the Statesman product offers an exceptional balance of heat and spice.
