Ampersand Optimus 15 Year "BuffTurkey" Finished In Tokaji Barrels Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750 mL)

Ampersand Opimus is more than a bourbon—it’s a revelation. At its foundation is a legendary 15-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon, distilled from a mash bill that mirrors the classic profile known to fans as “Buff Turkey,” widely believed to have originated at Buffalo Trace using Wild Turkey’s signature grain ratio.

After resting in traditional American oak for over a decade and a half, this bourbon embarks on a rare finishing journey—spending 9 months in prized Hungarian Tokaji wine barrels, once home to the world’s most celebrated dessert wines made from noble rot–affected grapes. The result is a fusion of depth and delicacy, where powerful, oak-driven bourbon notes are softened and enhanced by the honeyed richness and aromatic lift of Tokaji.

Bottled at a robust cask strength of 117 proof, Ampersand Opimus is unapologetically bold, yet refined—a true collector’s piece that speaks to both traditionalists and modern whiskey explorers.
