This latest release, which features some of Heaven Hill’s oldest inventory of aging whiskey, was produced using a mashbill of 78% corn, 12% malted barley and 10% rye.
Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 18 Year Old, is said to
deliver notes of dried flowers, black tea, old oak and toasted almond on the
nose. Followed by notes of vanilla and caramel, old leather, oak char, pepper
spice and orange oil on the palate.
Along with its innovation-focused counterpart the Parker’s
Heritage Collection, the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection is a testament to
Heaven Hill’s patience and ultra-aging techniques. Releases from both collections offer a
glimpse into the long-term plan across Heaven Hill’s American Whiskey stock and
commitment to quality, craft, and innovation.
Commenting on the launch, Conor O’Driscoll, Master Distiller
at Heaven Hill, said: “The Heaven Hill Heritage Collection is our opportunity
to showcase some of the oldest stock in Heaven Hill’s incredible inventory of
aging whiskey. We pride ourselves on having the necessary patience to age,
taste, re-taste and select our whiskey at the moment we feel it is perfectly
matured. This 18-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey epitomizes what
consumers have come to expect from the highest quality of Heaven Hill’s
releases.”
Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 18 Year Old, will be available
globally from select specialist retailers from March, for a RRP of $299.99.
