15 Stars First West Rye
15 STARS First West Rye celebrates the history of distilling excellence in America’s First West. In 1795, the 15 star flag recognized Kentucky as the 15th US state and the first state West of the Appalachians. At the time, Kentucky was surrounded by two US territories, making up the region commonly known as America’s First West. The three straight rye whiskeys used to create this blend were aged 8, 7, and 6 years and distilled in KY, IN, and TN as a tribute to the First West. Combining to create an extremely pleasant sip, this blend displays sweet apricot and nectarine flavors along with an extraordinary nose of floral and dried fruit notes.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: An exquisite blend of aromas revealing layers of floral, dried fruit, and spice notes
Palate: Dried apricot, ginger, cinnamon, green tea, and lavender lead to a rich palate showcasing the aged rye whiskey components. Deeper on the palate, hints of dark cocoa balance traditional herbal tea, honey, and tobacco
Finish: A long finish balances light caramel with lingering ground pepper and rye spice
Awards:
Ascot Awards Gold
SIP Awards Gold
ABV: 52.5%
