Heaven Hill 18 Year - 2024

Heaven Hill 18 Year Small Batch is a distinguished release from the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection, showcasing the distillery's expertise in crafting well-aged bourbons. This 2024 edition is a testament to Heaven Hill's rich history and commitment to quality. Bottled at a robust 120 proof (60% ABV), this Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is crafted from a mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley. The whiskey was distilled on December 29, 2005, under the supervision of the legendary late Parker Beam and aged for 18 years in Rickhouse 1I at the Bernheim location. On the nose, this bourbon offers rich aromas of cherry, ranging from cherry cough syrup to cherry cola, complemented by notes of musty oak, graham cracker, and molasses. The palate is equally complex, featuring flavors of charred oak, cooked Morello cherries, light root beer, and vanilla extract. As part of Heaven Hill's annual spring release, this small batch bourbon is highly limited and sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. The Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 18 Year Small Batch demonstrates the artistry of long-term bourbon maturation, balancing intense oak influence with the sweet and spicy notes characteristic of Heaven Hill's high-quality distillate.
