Heaven Hill Distillery has announced its new Heritage Collection with Heaven Hill 17 Year Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Each spring this rare, limited release will feature some of the distillery’s oldest inventory of aging whiskey. The Collection will feature one of the six traditional American Whiskey mashbills produced by Heaven Hill.
The first edition features Heaven Hill’s Bourbon mashbill comprised of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley, and bottled at a barrel proof of 118.2. With an age statement of 17 years, this release is made up of 28% 20-year-old barrels, 44% 19-year-old barrels, and 28% 17-year-old barrels pulled from Deatsville, Glencoe, Schenley, and Heaven Hill main campus warehouse locations.
Each spring, the release will vary as older barrels are deemed worthy of bottling. “Over many years, we have been quietly aging some exquisite whiskeys to be introduced under a new collection within our Heaven Hill Distillery portfolio,” said Max L. Shapira, Heaven Hill President. “Of our 1.9 million barrels resting across six rickhouse sites, our master craftspeople have kept watchful eyes on this limited stock of special barrels and we are finally ready to release the first edition.”
Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 17-Year-Old Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey will launch nationally on a limited basis with an SRP of $274.99.
