No Heaven Hill BIB 6-year around me. So, I picked this up for $15.99, and to be honest, it’s solid. I get cherry cough drops, corn pudding, peanut butter, ginger snap cookie, vanilla extract, caramel dip, and cracked black pepper on the initial nosing. The palate is bright, sweet and spicy, but hangs out in one gear and one gear only. The finish is where all the barrel bite comes out. All in all, this stays cohesive and has character. In no way will this change your life, but if you’re looking for that bourbon that doesn’t make you feel like shit when you pour too much, you’ve found a contender.
New label on this one: “100 Proof” on the front label.
