“Intriguing aromas of waxy crayons and cola cubes. On the palate, ripe passion fruit and citrus peel reveal a delightful interplay of red fruits, leading to a gorgeously long finish.”

94 Points, Finalist, Top 100, Great Value – Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2021

“Toasty aromas of grilled sweet corn, charred mesquite, and roasted pecans, this full-flavored bottling shows a smokey and corn-forward spirit that has plenty of sweet baking spice and praline nuttiness to balance its rich, mulled apple and pear fruit.”

#1 Bourbon Of 2019 (#4 overall) – 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.” (92 Points)
