AMPERSAND 15 YEAR OPIMUS BOURBON

Introducing the 15 Year Opimus Bourbon by Ampersand, a distinguished expression of the craft that bourbon enthusiasts will appreciate for its depth and character. This long-aged bourbon promises a complex interplay of flavors, capturing the essence of finely curated oak barrels over a decade and a half. Those who savor it will notice the anticipated notes of rich vanilla mingling with subtle hints of charred oak, each sip offering a smooth yet robust experience that is characteristic of bourbons matured over such a significant period. The Opimus Bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its intricate profile. Neat, it reveals its full-bodied texture and layered flavors, allowing aficionados to appreciate its long maturation. A splash of water gently softens the spirit, highlighting its nuanced sweetness and faint spice. For those who prefer their whiskey chilled, serving it over a single large ice cube can subtly mellow the bourbon while maintaining its complexity. While this bourbon is a delight on its own, it also shines in classic cocktails that allow its distinct notes to lead the experience. An Old Fashioned crafted with 15 Year Opimus Bourbon becomes a luxurious affair, with the oak and vanilla complementing the bitters and sugar. Similarly, a Manhattan made with this bourbon offers a sophisticated blend, where the whiskey's depth balances beautifully with sweet vermouth and bitters, creating a harmonious cocktail. For nosing, a Glencairn glass is ideal, concentrating the aromatics and enhancing the tasting experience. Meanwhile, a rocks glass provides the perfect vessel for savoring the bourbon with or without ice. Whether you're exploring its flavors on its own or integrating it into a well-crafted cocktail, the 15 Year Opimus Bourbon stands as a testament to Ampersand's dedication to quality and tradition in whiskey-making.
