15 STARS’ first release, a 14-year-old bourbon, earned recognition in a number of competitions, as has the Private Stock.

“It’s always great to see other people enjoy our bottles as much as we do,” said Rick Johnson, an entrepreneur who has worked in whiskey-related industries including limestone and corn.

Started by Johnson and his son Ricky, the brand is a tribute to more than 225 years of Kentucky bourbon craftsmanship and pays homage to Kentucky, America’s 15th state.
