15 Stars 12 year old Artisan Collection Blend of Straights (Batch 001), 54.5%

Price: 179 Issue: Winter 2025 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

A blend of whiskeys from Indiana and Kentucky aged 15 and 12 years. Dried herbs, vanilla bean, and red berries on the nose. A warm, powerful, and smooth palate offers loads of jammy blackberry, apples, vanilla, caramel, honeyed almonds, baking spices, jalapeño pepper, and herbs, anchored by earthy oak. A long, well-spiced finish of dark chocolate, raisins, vanilla, red berries, leather, and oak.
