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.”
