Tasting Note.

On the nose a delicate aroma, with hints of spice, vanilla and some malty dried fruits. On the Palate Initially slightly sweet, moving on with a touch of spice, citrus and apple and an edge of grain. Well-balanced and tight with some punch and an edge of rye appearing. It finishes with a delicate touch of cocoa, more spice and a little butterscotch sweetness. Crisp and peppery at the end with a distinctive rye touch.

The Distillery.

Founded shortly after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, Heaven Hill became the largest independent, family-owned producer and marketer of distilled spirits in the United States.  Heaven Hill‘s success is due to a mix of good business acumen, continuity, heritage and uncompromising craftsmanship. The company is still owned by descendants of the founding Shapira brothers and five generations of the famous Beam family have overseen the distillation.Located in Bardstown, Kentucky, Heaven Hill is the world’s second largest holder of bourbon whiskey with over 675,000 charred white oak barrels ageing in 42 open-rick warehouses.Double-distillation takes place at the modern Bernheim facility where Craig and Parker Beam produce rye and wheat influenced bourbons as well as straight rye, corn and wheat whiskies, using their own family yeast strain—now in its fifth generation!
