15 Stars Triple Cask Bourbon Review
Please enjoy our 15 Stars Triple Cask Bourbon Review!
15 Stars is named in honor of Kentucky becoming the 15th state, and thus, the 15th star added to the American Flag. And 15th stripe, too, because that’s what they did back then until they realized that things would rapidly get out of hand. In fact, flags were pretty much a free for all until the Executive Order of President Taft of June 24, 1912 which prescribed proportions for the flag and for the organization of the stars.
15 Stars was started by father and son Rick and Ricky Johnson. I have enjoyed their prior releases, the 14 Year Timeless Reserve and the 7 & 15 Year Private Stock Bourbons. Like this release, they are all Kentucky Straight Bourbons. The 15 Stars Triple Cask is their first finished bourbon, and it uses cognac, port and rum casks.
Let’s taste it:
This is a delicious finished bourbon. I like a finish to be complimentary to the bourbon flavors, not overpower them. In this Triple Cask, Rick and Ricky certainly succeeded. There are definitely fruit flavors from the rum, cognac and port casks, but the flavors from the well aged bourbons are there too. Maybe the caramel and vanilla are a bit subdued, but the older barrel flavors like cedar, oak and a bit of leather are there in force, and provide a wonderful contrast to the fruit. The warmth would make this a perfect Winter sipper, but I’ll have no problem at all drinking it this Spring!
If you enjoy well-aged bourbon flavors and think a bit of fruit might make things even better, then 15 Stars Triple Cask Bourbon is definitely one to try! Cheers!
