The award-winning 15 STARS announced the return of one of its most popular releases: Triple Cask Fine-Aged Bourbon.

This second batch of Kentucky straight bourbons finished in cognac, rum, and apple brandy casks, marries warm sweet finishes with the bold flavors of the bourbons aged 16 and 8 years. Beginning June 28, Triple Cask II will be available in select retailers across the country as well as online via 15STARS.com. 

“We are excited to bring back this fan-favorite expression for a second time,” Ricky Johnson, co-founder of 15 STARS, said in a news release. “Not only is Triple Cask II for our long-standing community in Kentucky and beyond, but we look forward to providing whiskey enthusiasts across the country the opportunity to sip on 15 STARS through this strategic partnership with RNDC.”

Bottled at 103 proof, Triple Cask II Fine-Aged Bourbon is a blend of Kentucky straight bourbons, aged 16 and 8 years.

With this release, the brand is excited to also introduce a strategic alignment with Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) to expand distribution to 15 control states across the country, including Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. This expanded distribution will be rolled out through 2025.

“Having been in the spirits business for over 30 years, I have seen how strategic partnerships like this one between 15 STARS and RDNC help elevate a brand,” Eric Timmerman, Vice President of Sales at 15 STARS, said. “We are proud to be able to share the tradition of Kentucky craftsmanship in distilling and blending with just about everyone east of the Rockies now.”
