About: 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.

The Story: 15 STARS celebrates Kentucky history. In 1795, Kentucky was recognized as the 15th US state on the historic 15 star and 15 stripe US flag, the second flag of the nation. At that time Kentucky was emerging as a hub for high quality craftsmen and artisans in trades such as gunsmithing, furniture making, silversmithing, distilling, and more. 15 STARS Bourbon approaches their work the same way as these early Kentucky artisans, by pouring their effort into the creation of a great product that will stand the test of time.
