Ampersand Optimus 15 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Tokaji Casks

Ampersand Optimus 15 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Tokaji Casks

Ampersand Optimus 15 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Tokaji Casks is a luxurious marriage of classic Kentucky bourbon craftsmanship and European wine-cask sophistication. Aged for 15 years in new American oak barrels, this rare bourbon develops deep layers of caramel, spice, and toasted oak before spending an additional nine months resting in Hungarian Tokaji wine casks—imparting honeyed fruit and bright dessert-wine character.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, dried apricot, honeycomb, and hints of candied orange peel.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied with flavors of dark toffee, charred oak, dried fig, marzipan, and sultana, lifted by delicate notes of white peach and golden raisin from the Tokaji finish.
Finish: Long and warming, balancing oak spice and fruit sweetness with a velvety, lingering aftertaste.

What Makes It Unique:
• Aged 15 years in new American oak for exceptional depth and smoothness
• Finished for 9 months in Tokaji wine casks from Hungary — rare in bourbon aging
• Mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley
• Bottled at cask strength (approx. 117 proof / 58.4% ABV) for full-bodied flavor
• Combines Kentucky tradition with European refinement for a one-of-a-kind experience

How to Enjoy:
Enjoy neat or with a few drops of water to open up its layers of oak, spice, and fruit.
Perfect as an after-dinner pour alongside dark chocolate, aged cheese, or spiced desserts.
Ideal for special occasions, collectors, and bourbon connoisseurs.
