Product Information

It just fit well — it wasn’t something we had to make up,” Mr. Brown said. “To have that as a fundamental story line that fit so neatly with our own history makes it a welcome and unique opportunity to partner.”

Two very different distilleries have both released very different whiskies to celebrate the launch of the second instalment in the Kingsman franchise. Hailing from Scotland, the GlenDronach Kingsman Edition 1991 Single Malt is one of the rarest from the estate, with only 2,000 bottles produced for global release, and a mere 100 of them making it to Australian shores. As in the film, a Kingsman doesn’t work alone, so nor should a Kingsman whisky. Old Forester have also come to the party with a Statesman bourbon, in response to the US contingent of the global secret spy ring that saves the world every time.Keep up with the latest trends, best stories, and crucial updates from Man of Many direct to your inbox. It was an ideal spot for a product placement. But the director, Matthew Vaughn, took that common commercial device and reversed it. The whiskey featured in the first Kingsman movie is The GlenDronach, a single malt Scotch whisky from the Highlands of Scotland. The particular expression that appears in the film was personally chosen by director Matthew Vaughn and is knwn as The GlenDronach Kingsman Edition. It is a 21-year-old whisky, matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry casks for a rich, sweet and spicy flavor profile. This whisky has aromas of dried fruits, leather and tobacco leaf with flavors of sherry and dark chocolate, balanced by notes of roasted nutmeg and allspice. With its smooth finish, this whisky makes an excellent accompaniment to any occasion.

You'd think the most impressive thing about the classic Old Forester brand's most recent release, Old Forester Statesman, was that it won the Master Award (the highest accolade) at the Spirits Business American Whiskey Masters 2017. You'd be wrong. What is in the safe is Statesman bourbon, a spinoff of the longstanding Old Forester brand produced by Brown-Forman of Louisville, Ky., since 1870. It is not a fictional spirit: Statesman bourbon has been quietly appearing on liquor store shelves since spring.Master Marksman: Whiskey is shown to have deadly skill with his revolvers, able to easily shoot multiple moving targets with perfect accuracy.
