Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond 7 Year
100 proof 7 years Bourbon Heaven Hill Bardstown, KY $40 78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley
Nose

A touch more ethanol presence than the six-year. Drier, dustier peanut shell quality. Fresh kettle corn and caramel corn with peanuts.

Palate

Opens with fresh kettle corn and caramel peanuts, developing into Heath bar toffee and baking chocolate. Dried dark cherries and red fruit emerge. Savory tobacco earthiness and vanilla notes develop mid-palate. More corn forward initially, transitioning to savory notes.

Finish

Dry finish with oak, leather, and elevated black pepper spice. Noticeably drier than the six-year with more oak presence.

Noteworthy
An elevated expression showing meaningful additional complexity and dry, savory character from the extra year in barrel, with more oak and tobacco earthiness than its six-year sibling.
