What You’re Drinking
Ass Pocket Whiskey 15 Year is the older sibling in Release 3—a project from brothers Derek and David who bottle sourced bourbon with personality. This expression was handpicked from a shared distilling DNA and aged for a full 15 years, making it one of the oldest bourbons on the indie market. Bottled at 107 proof and offered in 200ml format, it leans heavily on story, novelty branding, and fruit-forward tasting notes to make its pitch.
Ideal Moments
This pour feels more like a collectible curiosity than a nightly go-to. It’s a fun conversation starter at a bottle share or a quirky gift for a bourbon lover who already “has everything”—but it’s unlikely to become anyone’s favorite.
Final Word
Despite the age and a colorful story, the sip lands stale and flat. There’s little of the promised richness, and it lacks the vibrant complexity the label boasts. Branding can be fun—but what’s in the glass still has to deliver.
