15 STARS Triple Cask Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Age: Blend of 6,7 & 9 Year Old Bourbon Proof: 105 proof Finish: Port, Cognac, and Rum Tasting Notes: Nose: Layers of baked blackberry with cream, brown sugar, and nutmeg open up into aromas of leather, and cigar box to build a complex nose that continues to develop in the glass. Palate: Dark fruit and nutmeg make an appearance along with vibrant cognac, but eventually give way to caramel and aged oak, showing the strong character of the aged bourbons in the blend. Finish: Similar to the palate, the finish begins with a burst of rich port wine sweetness which transitions into seasoned oak and worn leather. About: 15 STARS Triple Cask Bourbon is a marriage of two Kentucky straight bourbons aged 16 & 8 years. This blend of mature bourbons was finished in port, cognac, and rum casks for 8 months to extract the unique influences of each of these spirits. Each finishing barrel provides a distinctly different dimension that when blended together creates a complex and interesting whiskey that is one of a kind. The Story:  15 STARS celebrates Kentucky history. In 1795, Kentucky was recognized as the 15th US state on the historic 15 star and 15 stripe US flag, the second flag of the nation. At that time Kentucky was emerging as a hub for high quality craftsmen and artisans in trades such as gunsmithing, furniture making, silversmithing, distilling, and more. 15 STARS Bourbon approaches their work the same way as these early Kentucky artisans, by pouring their effort into the creation of a great product that will stand the test of time.
