Heaven Hill 27 Year Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon

This is a delicious old bourbon that has typical bourbon notes of citrus, chocolate, leather and old dusty oak. It’s a viscous mouthfeel with a nice balance that veers towards a slightly over oaked flavor mid-palate showcasing its age that quickly fades away in the long finish with dusty oak and typical bourbon notes. At a price tag of nearly $2k, it was worth a taste but I’d rather have a Garrison Brothers Cowboy or Lux Row 12 year Double Barrel.

Absolutely incredible. Low proof and smooth on front end with amazing flavor but the oak finish sets it apart. Top notch!

A dusty old legend. Nose: Oranges, Cherries, Maple Syrup, Leather, Pecans, Brown Sugar, Tobacco, Vanilla, Chestnuts, Cloves, Licorice, Toasted Honey, Brown Butter, Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, Raspberries Palate: Pecans, Cloves, Leather, Tobacco, Oranges, Spearmint, Vanilla, Caramel, Cherries, Brown Sugar, Burnt Marshmallows, Walnuts, Milk Chocolate Finish: Caramel, Almonds, Honey, Vanilla, Oranges, Milk Chocolate, Cola, Root Beer, Peaches, Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg

Smell and taste reflect the age, but I wouldn’t say this is over-oaked. Medium sweetness with an oaky smooth finish. If you can get it at a reasonable price, do it. Unfortunately most of the time it’s over priced

Perfect!!! Absolutely perfect!! Rich, smooth, velvet smooth, caramel, brown sugar, citrus, orange peel, coffee and toffee finish. If you get the chance go for it!!!

The nose is full of oak and vanilla, warm rye spice, baking spices and sponge cake. The palate is gentle for its age and is chewy as rich oak, vanilla and caramel reach the corners of the mouth. A wave a floral rye spice follows with underlying notes of baking spices. The finish is medium long and leaves you chewing on the whiskey and oak and vanilla stay long in the mouth while rye and caramel fades.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Another moving day taster. Tiniest of tiny. Mouth is very happy.

Hands down the best bourbon I have ever had. Extremely unique because of the age. I was hesitant to spend the extra money but was probably the best decision I have ever made when it comes to bourbon.

Extremely complex. Strong oak throughout, initial fruit notes gave way to sweet vanilla and caramel notes with a spicy finish
