15 Stars, the award-winning fine-aged bourbon brand, has announced Founders Reserve Fine Aged Rye, a blend of rare straight rye whiskeys aged 14, 13, nine, and eight years. Sourced from Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, this limited release reflects the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship, heritage, and innovation in whiskey blending.

Ricky Johnson, co-founder of 15 Stars, commented on the new release: "With Founders Reserve, we set out to create something extraordinary—combining aged rye mash bills from three whiskey-rich states into one seamless, complex expression. This release is a unique blend that is incredibly smooth and complex.”

Tasting notes provided by 15 Stars say this release has notes of honey and caramel on the nose, followed by peach, mandarin orange, and sweet mint on the palate.

15 Stars Founders Reserve Fine Aged Rye (MSRP $139) is bottled at 95 proof and will be available at select retailers nationwide. For more information, visit 15 Stars’ official website.
