Since I’ve been on a Heaven Hill bottom shelfer kick lately, I thought I’d finally go for this one. It only comes in a plastic 1.75L bottle, built in pourer and all. All of that for $22 doesn’t really scream quality, but Heaven Hill has proven me wrong before. Let’s see. The nose is sweet with vanilla custard, light gingerbread, plumb, barrel char ash, and sweet corn. The palate is sweet and a little oily with gingerbread, barrel char, sweet corn, slight cardboard/nuttiness and a hint of rye. The finish is medium in length with lingering sweet corn, vanilla and very light gingerbread. After a while there is a remnant of barrel char. Heaven Hill comes through again! Man, these limited distribution/KY only releases are all very good (T.W. Samuels, J.T.S. Brown and J.W. Dant, all BiB of course). They spend $0 on marketing for these products, so it’s up to us to discover them. Do not let the giant plastic bottle fool you. It is quality bourbon, especially for the price!
