15 Stars releases First West line up

15 Stars has launched a new permanent brand called First West, which features a trio of whiskies. The First West brand aims to offer more affordable options compared to previous releases from 15 Stars, with each bottle priced lower. The initial offerings include Small Batch, Toasted Oak, and Extra Aged whiskies. These products are available nationwide in the US.

First West Small Batch (51% ABV, SRP $60) is a blend of three bourbons aged 7, 6, and 5 years, featuring the distillery’s own heirloom corn mashbill.

First West Toasted Oak (49% ABV, SRP $70) is similarly blended but finished in toasted barrels. It uses different ratios of the 5 and 7-year-old bourbons, with a different source for the 6-year-old component.

First West Extra Aged (50% ABV, SRP $80) features an 8-year age statement and blends 8 and 9-year-old sourced bourbons. This expression does not include any of the brand’s own-made distillate.
