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.
