Heaven Hill to Release 85th Anniversary 13-Year Bourbon
Heaven Hill Distillery announced the release of its 85th Anniversary 13-Year-Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
The whiskey is comprised of one barrel filled on Dec. 13, 2006, and dumped on Dec. 13, 2019, honoring the anniversary date Heaven Hill first filled a barrel with Kentucky Bourbon in 1935.
The 13-year-old bourbon, another key callback to the anniversary date, was aged on the second floor of Rickhouse G on Heaven Hill’s main Bardstown campus. The bourbon is bottled at 107 proof, Heaven Hill’s original barrel entry proof circa 1935, and non-chill filtered.
Heaven Hill 85th Anniversary will be released in 750ml bottles packaged in a custom wooden, satin-based box bearing two H’s on each side. The distiller’s notes label features hand-written bottle numbers, tasting notes, and DSP-KY-1, denoting the Heaven Hill Bernheim Distillery.
The one-time release will be available late 2020 in at the distillery’s Bourbon Heritage center and at select Kentucky retailers for a MSRP of $299.99.
