15 Stars Triple Cask Bourbon
105 proof
16 and 8 years (finished)
Bourbon
Bardstown Bourbon Company (production partner)
Bardstown, KY
Same two Kentucky rye bourbons as the 7 & 15, finished in port, cognac, and rum casks for approximately eight months
Nose
Port is most evident with rum notes also present; evolves and opens up with time in the glass, with cognac emerging upon further nosing
Palate
Complex and rich with multiple layers of flavor; buttered rum, port wine, and subtle cognac influences blend seamlessly without overpowering the underlying bourbon; salivary glands trigger immediately upon entry with gobs of flavor across the palate
Finish
Lingers with complexity and richness throughout
Top notch
A sophisticated finished bourbon that showcases excellent blending technique and restraint, allowing the underlying spirit to shine while the cask finishes add meaningful complexity and depth.
