15 Stars Private Stock is a blend of Kentucky straight bourbons aged 8 and 15 years, bottled at 107 proof. Released in 2024, it succeeds the brand's 7 & 15 Year expression.
15 Stars, of Bardstown, Kentucky, is known for blending well-aged bourbons, and the Private Stock pairs a vibrant 8-year-old with a deep, oak-rich 15-year-old for a big, well-aged, well-blended bourbon that is bold on the nose and weighty on the palate. American Whiskey Magazine scored it 9.0.
The nose is like a candy shop, with toffee, fudge, fruitcake and honeycomb. The palate brings black cherry, bananas Foster and caramelised sugar, followed by charred oak and cigar box, and the finish lingers with black cherry, roasted nuts, coffee and chamomile tea.
The classic 15 Stars bottle makes it a fine gift for bourbon lovers.
Pour it neat or with a single large ice cube.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
