15 STARS Fine-Aged Bourbon has unveiled a limited edition line, Kentucke County™, in honor of America’s 250th anniversary and the birthplace of bourbon. This new brand features two expressions: Kentucke County™ 12 Year-Old American Whiskey and Kentucke County™ 6 Year-Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey, both in collectible bottles.
Established in 1776, Kentucke County was Virginia’s frontier, evolving into the Kentucke District, where Bourbon whiskey originated. Ricky Johnson, co-founder of 15 STARS, stated, “Bourbon, America, and Kentucky all began together,” emphasizing the rich heritage reflected in their whiskeys.
Kentucke County™ 12 Year-Old American Whiskey ($57.99 MSRP) blends straight bourbon aged 7 years in second-use oak and 5 additional years in new charred oak. The Kentucke County™ Straight Bourbon ($37.99 MSRP) is a blend of two straight bourbons, each aged 6 years.
Both expressions are bottled at an ABV of 45% (90 proof). These expressions offer premium aged pours at accessible prices, making them a meaningful addition for whiskey enthusiasts and collectors alike.
