Heaven Hill Bottled In Bond 7 Year

Very smooth. Also enjoying a Oliva Serie G cigar with it.

First time having this one. Enjoying neat Nose - vanilla and sweet notes with a very light alcohol smell. Pretty typical nose to most bourbons Taste - light and oily on the tongue. Vanilla and sweet to start like a lot of bourbons usually are. I also get a light nutty taste and an oak flavor that blends nicely with the vanilla and sweet taste. A little bit of spice at the end but not overbearing. Overall and value - this has been a bottle I have really wanted to purchase and finally found one for the right price. The nose is typical of bourbon and nothing fancy, the taste is complex and really good. Pricing and availability are my issue with this one. Seen from $35-$89 and rather hard to find. If you are able to grab this one for around 50 or under I recommend it. Great add to any collection and makes a great neat pour.

The strong oak and nut blast you get right away would normally seem overpowering but as the 100 proof shows itself those flavors help balance it out. There is still a bit of that alcohol finish at the end so if you don’t like that you may want to stay way. Overall I loved this one but at $45 it may be a little overpriced depending on what you like. That being said,out of the bottle in bond bourbons available under $50, it’s probably the best one.
