Heaven Hill Description
This Kentucky Bourbon pays tribute to the earliest days of the distillery’s history, when it released the original Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond in 1939. The namesake brand quickly became the number-one-selling Bourbon whiskey in the state of Kentucky. Today, the craftsmanship poured into this bottle meets the exacting standards first set forth in the Bottled-in-Bond act of 1897. This historic offering reflects our founders' firm belief that it takes patience and perseverance to make something of great quality.
Proof: 100 Proof
Age: 7 Years Old
BOTTLED-IN-BOND
To be labeled as Bottled-in-Bond, a whiskey must:
- Be the product of one distillery and distilled during just one distillation season, which can run from January-June or July-December
- Be aged for at least four years
- Be bottled at exactly 100 Proof
- Bear the name and number of the Distilled Spirits Plant (D.S.P.) where it was produced, and, if different, the D.S.P. number of the bottling facility
Tasting Notes
- Color: Golden amber
- Aroma: Warm notes of vanilla, honey, and a rich caramel sweetness
- Taste: Smooth, warm and sweet with a subtle rye spice note; caramel and honey mingle with just enough oak and char to round out the richness
- Finish: Long, lingering
Whisky Advocate
In 2018, Heaven Hill discontinued its 6 year old bottled in bond bourbon that was sold only in Kentucky, but now has roared back with this widely available 7 year old. While the bottled in bond designation isn’t necessarily a quality guarantee, this whiskey more than proves its merit. It’s explosive, bold, and buttery, with warm flavors of honey-roasted peanuts, caramel, chocolate, corn muffins, licorice, and cinnamon, all accented by notes of savory herbs, cloves, white pepper, tobacco, and an earthy undertone. Well-integrated big oak, sweetness, and spice combine to create grace, power, and length. This is pure bourbon bliss, at a very approachable price. —David Fleming
