Straight Bourbon
Heaven Hill
$12.95
Nose
Prominent nuttiness with almond and peanut brittle notes, alongside vanilla, caramel, and a strong oak presence brought out by the 6-year aging.
Palate
Full-bodied with a wonderful balance of spice, deep dark caramel, char, smoke, and oak, with nutty notes and Kentucky hug building on the back end.
Finish
Peppery bite on the back of the tongue with just a slightest bit of bitterness; medium finish that doesn't linger too long.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
An exceptional value bourbon at $12.95 that stands up to significantly more expensive whiskeys and topped Fred Minick's best under $15 list.
