World Whiskey Society Reserve Collection 15 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey
World Whiskey Society Reserve Collection 15 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey is a barrel-proof, 750mL single-barrel Kentucky straight bourbon aged fifteen years in new charred American oak.

It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Fifteen Years, One Barrel, Full Proof
The World Whiskey Society doesn't distill — it curates, sourcing exceptional barrels from across the whiskey world for its Reserve Collection. This 15 Year Old is the patient end of that philosophy: a decade and a half in new oak, bottled from a single barrel at full proof with nothing added and nothing taken away. The 78.5/13/8.5 mash bill is disclosed; the distillery is not, and the copy makes no claim about it. Fifteen-year barrel-proof single barrels are genuinely scarce — most bourbon this old never sees a barrel-proof bottling.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Deep oak, dark caramel, and aged leather from fifteen years in new charred oak.
Palate: Full-proof intensity — toffee, baking spice, and mature wood tannin.
Finish: Long, warming, and drying, with lingering char and vanilla.
How to Enjoy
Neat first, in a Glencairn, to meet it at full strength — then a few drops of water to open the caramel and spice. A pour for slow evenings, not for mixing.
