Bourbon Pursuit Old Anvil 11-Year 375mL
119.4 proof 11 years Kentucky Straight Bourbon Bourbon Pursuit / Heaven Hill Bardstown, KY $99.99 70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley (Heaven Hill one-off mash bill)
Nose

Wet limestone minerality with rich fruity caramel. Leather notes from the extended aging. Mineral sting that sets it apart from typical Heaven Hill profiles.

Palate

Vanilla cream and crème brûlée with a notable coconut note. Big, chewy mid-palate presence reflecting 11 years in barrel. Depth and richness throughout. More Heaven Hill character emerges on the palate compared to the nose.

Finish

Lingering sweetness with minimal late spice. Unctuous and full-bodied.

Very good
An 11-year single-barrel expression that leverages a one-time Heaven Hill mash bill to deliver unexpected minerality, coconut complexity, and impressive depth at barrel proof.
