Tasting Notes
"Twenty-seven years is a long time for ageing any spirit, but especially a bourbon. Fortunately this release from Heaven Hill holds up very well. Its extended rest in oak has rounded out the spice of the whiskey, making for a dram that's sweet and oaky without being overpowered by the wood. Notes of roasted hazelnuts, baking spice, and brown sugar express themselves subtly on the palate. There's a lot of depth to this bourbon and it rewards savoring neat."
