Heaven Hill 9 Year Old Bottle in Bond Double Mash Bill Bourbon
A first-of-its-kind 9-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that combines two of Heaven Hill’s signature mashbills in a single Bottled-in-Bond release. The blend is two-thirds traditional Heaven Hill Bourbon (78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley) and one-third Wheated Bourbon (68% corn, 20% wheat, 12% malted barley), with both components aged a full 9 years and bottled at the required 100 proof (50% ABV). The traditional bourbon contributes structure, oak and rye spice, while the wheated bourbon adds a softer, rounder character. Heaven Hill describes aromas of toasted oak, honey and white pepper, followed by honey and bright citrus oil, with a finish of rich caramel and baking spices. Released nationally in limited quantities, this is an especially interesting Bottled-in-Bond release because Heaven Hill found a way to combine traditional and wheated bourbon while still meeting Bottled-in-Bond requirements—something the distillery says has never been done before.
