This limited-edition whiskey is a blend of nine and fifteen-year-old Kentucky straight bourbons finished in tawny, white, and ruby port barrels.

The result is a memorable, complex 103-proof blended bourbon that (according to the brand) begins with a nose of concord grape, plum, blueberry, honeysuckle, vanilla extract, apple, banana, pear, peach, oak, and baking spices. The palate is a symphony of flavors, including blackberry, dates, pineapple juice, golden raisin, meringue, cinnamon, fresh wood, and light ground pepper. The finish is a mix of berries, fruit cake, grape, plum, and oak. It’s the kind of whiskey you’ll want to sip slowly neat, on the rocks, or with a splash or two of water on a cool evening.

“Three Ports is a bold step forward in bourbon innovation,” Ricky Johnson, co-founder of 15 STARS, said in a press release.

“By blending these fine-aged bourbons and finishing them in three distinct port casks, we’ve created a spirit that delivers a depth of flavor and sophistication unlike anything else on the market. We’re thrilled to introduce this one-of-a-kind release as our first launch of 2025.”

The three Whiskey Row Bourbon releases are Triple Wood, Bottled in Bond, and Cask Strength. The Triple Wood expression gets its name because it's matured for at least four years in a charred oak before being finished in cognac and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The Bottled in Bond expression follows a "rigorous six-marker process to ensure quality" and is aged for at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse under government supervision before being bottled at a potent 100-proof. The Cask Strength is precisely as the name would make it appear. It isn't proofed down after maturing and bottled at barrel strength.

Bucked Up Whiskey is a whiskey brand that got its name because it's a brand committed to supporting organizations like the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Shingletown, California, which supports the protection and preservation of horses. It's known for its Bucked Up Bourbon, Bucked Up White Whiskey, and Bucked Up Bourbon Gold.

All of which are adorned with a cowboy in the process of being knocked off bucking bronco. Its latest whiskey release doesn't really have much to do with horses, but it should appeal to anyone who enjoys deep-fried, cinnamon-covered treats.
