The 15 STARS Triple Cask II Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an exceptional release crafted by the father-son team Rick and Ricky Johnson. Known for its luxurious blend of well-aged bourbons, this expression has won numerous 'best in class' awards since its debut in 2022.
The second batch brings together bourbons aged 16 and 8 years, matured in cognac, rum, and apple brandy casks, culminating in a 103-proof bourbon. Its flavor profile is rich and complex, with notes of baking spice, banana bread, apple pie, butterscotch, vanilla, dried cherry, plum, leather, orange marmalade, honeysuckle, nutmeg, cinnamon, oak, molasses, and allspice.
15 STARS Fine Aged Bourbon celebrates Kentucky's heritage as the 15th U.S. state and honors traditional distilling with innovative aging techniques. The distillery sources fine aged bourbons, blending unique mash bills and proprietary grains like heirloom black corn.
