Heaven Hill Distillery Launches Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 17 Year Old Barrel Proof Bourbon
Heaven Hill Distillery has announced the release of Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 17 Year Old Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, the first edition of the new Heaven Hill Heritage Collection.
Set to be released annually each spring, the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection will showcase some of the distillery’s oldest stocks and will feature one of the six traditional American Whiskey mashbills produced by Heaven Hill. The Heaven Hill Heritage Collection joins its more experimental counterpart, the Parker’s Heritage Collection, to form the “Heritage Collection.”
The first edition in the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection features Heaven Hill’s Bourbon mashbill comprised of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley. Bottled at a barrel proof of 118.2 (59.1% ABV) with an age statement of 17 years, this release is made up of 28% 20 year old barrels, 44% 19 year old barrels, and 28% 17 year old barrels pulled from Deatsville, Glencoe, Schenley, and Heaven Hill main campus warehouse locations.
Each Heaven Hill Heritage Collection release will be presented in a premium box in signature Heaven Hill blue with the double-H insignia stamped in gold to signify Heaven Hill. Specific attributes such as warehouse site locations, production dates, mashbill percentage, and other designations will be noted prominently on the packaging.
Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 17 Year Old Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is now rolling out nationally in highly limited quantities and carries a suggested retail price of $274.99 for a 750 mL bottle.
