Heaven Hill Bottled In Bond 7 Year

Can’t speak to the history and previous cost. Nose + Palate + Finish+ Good stuff. Had some young boutique sourced bourbon recently that was hot with no complexity. This is a good bourbon.

This offering seems to be a bit divisive - largely because consensus suggests the prior 6y BiB was perfectly fine and much more affordable. Having had that one years ago and repartitioning my neurons since, I sadly cannot say I remember much about it. Maybe that in itself says something. This, likewise is a bit forgettable. Case in point, this was the 3rd pour of the night this past weekend. Don’t get me wrong, it was absolutely delicious (so my brain tells me). It just didn’t have a wow factor. What I think I remember is that it was a bit oily, and I liked that. There was a notable HH oak-forward profile but in balance with cherry and caramel. Not many earthy notes that I can recall. I look forward to tasting this again - from my friends bottle. At $50 or more this tracks with the market, which is not a complement. I would actually consider a bottle if the circumstances were right.
