Mash bill: Estimated from secondary sources. Blend of two published Heaven Hill mash bills, about two-thirds traditional (78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley) and one-third wheated (68% corn, 20% wheat, 12% malted barley). The combined figures here are calculated from that split.
Tasting Notes
Nine-year Heaven Hill in two flavors at once: the classic rye recipe brings structure and nutty oak, while a third of wheated bourbon rounds off the edges. It drinks fuller and softer than the standard bonded bottle.
