The 2015 edition is one of the most talked-about vintages in the series. It was the first Birthday Bourbon bottled at 100 proof, and it shows the bold side of a 12-year-old Kentucky bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe whole release came from a single day of distilling: June 13, 2003. Unusually, all of the barrels aged together in one spot in the warehouse, next to a window and a heating duct. That steady heat pushed the whiskey deep into the oak, giving it a rich, wood-forward character that sets it apart from other years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry oak, pipe tobacco, roasted almonds, caramel, and vanilla, with gentle baking spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm mulled spice, cinnamon and clove, baked apple, and toasted nuts, balanced by honey and brown sugar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, dry, and oaky, with a final note of pecan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOnly about 2,200 cases were made, and the 2015 is now one of the hardest Birthday Bourbon vintages to find.
