15 Stars 11 year old Three Kings Blend, 53.5%

This blend of straight bourbon, rye, and wheat whiskeys offers aromas of creme patisserie, freshly baked blueberry bagel, and candied nuts. The palate is velvety, and boy is it hot—Red Hots coat the mouth and numb the tongue. Once that spice settles down, there’s a great deal more to unpack: glazed doughnut, cheese Danish, strawberry cereal bar, and Neapolitan ice cream make for delightfully fruit-forward and sugared sips. Water makes this dram sing, coaxing out chocolate pudding, warm baking spice, and whipped cream.
