William Heavenhill Limited Edition Bourbon
Country: USA
Region: Kentucky
Type: Bourbon
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 63.8%
Score: 92 Points
Only 225 bottles were made of this barrel-proof bourbon honoring the farmer who gave his name to the site where Heaven Hill sits today, and it sells for $500 at the Heaven Hill visitors center. It’s oily and thick, with a dark coppery color. The nose is old oak and leather, with vanilla and caramel notes for good measure. Tasting it reveals honey and caramel sweetness with a kick of pepper and an interesting touch of toasted rye bread, but adding water brings out even more sweetness with a minty flavor. The finish is rich ganache, chocolate, and nuts.
