15 Stars Timeless Reserve Fine-Aged Bourbon Aged 13 Years

Tasting Notes

About:

A bourbon blend of 13 and 15-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys bottled at 103 proof and priced at $279.
Appearance:
This holds a classic 10+ year Kentucky bourbon amber color in glass, supported with moderate legs and viscosity.
Nose:
A beautiful spread of caramel and vanilla drifts out as the aromatics are explored. Some oak, a good amount of green apple, a bit of wet leather, maple, and black pepper join the mix.
Palate:
The palate of this bourbon is about as dialed in as one could hope for, showcasing timeless vanilla, caramel, and oak considerations. Joining these are helpings of creme brulee, maple, pears, a little touch of cinnamon, cardamom, and a kiss of milk chocolate.
Finish:
This ends as cleanly and well-formed as the rest of the tasting experience, delivering the bourbon you want as it fades away every so gently.
Comments:
15 Stars Timeless Reserve Fine-Aged Bourbon Aged 13 Years is one to hold up as a timeless classic for a bourbon of this age range. There’s nothing negative to say here – get yourself a bottle to drink and a bottle to hold before it sells out.
