First West Explorer Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

First West Explorer is a four-grain Kentucky Straight Bourbon blend—each component five years old or minimum—built on 15 Stars' frontier ethos of craft, courage, and character. The signature element is Baby Black Corn, a proprietary grain that delivers distinctive sweetness and complexity to the final spirit. Bottled at 95 proof via Flavor Proofing™, a sensory-guided process that identifies the exact dilution point where the whiskey's flavor shines brightest rather than simply meeting a legal standard. On the nose: cherry, banana pudding, vanilla wafers, fresh wood, and tobacco. The palate unfolds with pear, raisin, sugar, baking spice, herbal teas, cigar box, and seasoned oak. The finish lingers with orange citrus, white pepper, and developing old oak. Housed in 15 Stars' historic blue bottle—a direct reference to the earliest bourbon vessels crafted in Kentucky—each pour connects you to a tangible piece of American distilling heritage. 750ml | 95 Proof
