Bourbon Pursuit Old Anvil 11-Year 375mL
119.4 proof
11 years
Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Bourbon Pursuit / Heaven Hill
$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.
Overall Score
4.3 / 5
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.
