Elevate your whiskey collection with Ampersand Opimus 15 Year Old Bourbon, a rare and masterfully crafted Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey aged for an exceptional 15 years and finished in Tokaji wine casks. This premium spirit marries time-honored American tradition with the rich sweetness of Hungarian dessert wine barrels, creating a profile that is both deeply complex and indulgently smooth.

Bottled at a bold 58.5% ABV (117 proof), this small-batch release is defined by its rich oak character, layered with honeyed fruit, caramel, toasted spice, and the signature influence of Tokaji casks—notes of apricot, fig, and golden raisin.
