15 Stars Platinum is a limited release blend of straight bourbon whiskeys aged 18, 15 and 10 years, bottled at 98 proof. It is the premium expression of 15 Stars Fine Aged Bourbon, whose name and blend celebrate bourbons from what the brand calls America's First West.
15 Stars is built on blending long-aged bourbons, and Platinum brings together some of its oldest stocks. Marrying three ages gives a bourbon that is high-aged and complex, yet smooth.
On the nose come maple, peanut brittle, candied orange and lavender. The palate unfolds in pastry-like layers with ginger, allspice and honeycomb over leather and seasoned oak, and the finish is herbal and spicy, with a long note of cigar box and leather. It opens beautifully with a little time in the glass.
The bottle carries the 15 Stars badge and a Platinum label, and the release has gathered a string of awards and high ratings from critics.
It is a fine gift for a bourbon lover who appreciates well-aged whiskey.
