15 Stars Private Stock is a limited-release blend of Kentucky straight bourbons aged 8 and 15 years, sourced from undisclosed Kentucky distilleries and bottled by the father-son team of Rick and Ricky Johnson at Bardstown Bourbon Company. This non-chill filtered expression honors Kentucky's history as the 15th state, delivering robust flavor at 107 proof (53.5% ABV) in a 750ml bottle. Its classic profile balances youthful boldness with mature depth, earning high acclaim including a 95 from the International Wine & Spirits Competition.

Aromatic layers of cinnamon, rose petals, apricot, maple, oak, fruit cocktail cherries, toffee, fudge, fruit cake, and honeycomb unfold invitingly.

The palate reveals citrus, spice, caramel, almonds, aged oak, Red Hots candy, baking spices, dried apple, black cherry, bananas foster, and caramelized sugar for a rich, rounded experience.

A long, soft toasted oak lingers with cinnamon stick, muted brown sugar, slight spice, faint spiced raisins, charred oak, and cigar box notes, showcasing impressive complexity and heat.

This bourbon stands out for its masterful blending of 8- and 15-year stocks, weaving subtle fruit elements like cherries and raisins through classic oak and spice without overwhelming maturity. The 15 Stars name draws from Kentucky's flag heritage, reflected in unique bottle details like star-engraved stoppers, while its high proof and awards highlight sourcing expertise. As a 2024 follow-up to the popular 7 & 15 release, it offers luxurious, full-bodied depth at an accessible price point.

Savor neat in a Glencairn glass to appreciate its layered evolution, or with a splash of water to open up the fruit and spice. It excels in premium cocktails like an Old Fashioned, where its boldness cuts through mixers. Perfect for sipping fireside or gifting to bourbon enthusiasts seeking aged elegance.
