15 Stars is named in homage to Kentucky being the 15th state on the 15 star US flag, which debuted in 1795. Interestingly, this flag is also the only US flag to have 15 stripes, rather than the 13 that we have today. In addition, this is also the flag that inspired the Star Spangled Banner. So it’s one important flag! According to the 15 Stars website, they are currently distilling bourbons made with heritage corns, including a baby black corn, which sounds very interesting. Also on deck are bourbons made with heritage red, white and blue corns. While they are waiting for their own whiskeys to mature, they are sourcing and blending some older Kentucky bourbons. This 15 Stars 14 Year Fine Aged Bourbon is their first release.

This Speyside distillery was founded in 1973, making it one of those late 20th Century foundations. This is purely anecdotal, but I have often found that distilleries started in the late 20th Century lack both the hype …
Old Forester 1910 Bourbon, the final addition to Old Forester’s Whiskey Row Series, was released back in October 2018. Immediate success led to high demand which resulted in a very short supply. It became yet another hard to find bourbon. Fortunately these days, supply now keeps up with demand, and Old Forester 1910 is generally readily available.

By Richard Thomas Rating: B Every cask strength batch is a limited edition release in its own right, and always has been. The batching may be the same, drawing on similarly aged and warehoused stock every time, but the very word “cask strength” points right to the fact that each batch will always be a …
By Richard Thomas Rating: B+ If you read my work, then you are probably familiar with Indiana’s Starlight Distillery through Lisa Rope Wicker’s past work with them, that being how I usually make mention of them. The distillery was started by Ted Huber as an outgrowth of his orchard and winery, the latter being a …
