15 Stars Triple Cask is a limited release from 15 Stars of Bardstown, Kentucky, blending Kentucky straight bourbons aged 16 and 8 years and finishing them in a combination of cognac, port and rum casks. This is Batch 1, the original release, bottled at 105 proof.
15 Stars is known for blending well-aged Kentucky bourbons and finishing them in carefully chosen casks. Triple Cask brings three finishing casks together, with each contributing its own character: dried fruit from port, a grape-rich elegance from cognac and a sweet richness from rum.
The nose offers baked blackberry with cream, brown sugar and nutmeg, alongside leather and cigar box. On the palate, dark fruit, nutmeg and cognac give way to caramel and aged oak. Breaking Bourbon noted raisin, dark fruits and black raspberry on the nose, vanilla custard, graham cracker and a hint of orange zest on the palate, and a lively spice from start to finish.
The classic 15 Stars bottle with its purple Triple Cask band is a fine gift for bourbon lovers who enjoy finished whiskeys.
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.
