French vanilla ice cream, birthday cake, chocolate fudge, and candied orange on a fragrant nose. The palate is hot, but water brings out vanilla sweetness, ripe orange slices, and dark chocolate; it’s nicely textured and well structured. A long finish brings more chocolate, spice, orange tart, and vanilla. The overall body is delicate in a way—it’s not particularly thick or chewy—but it offers very appealing flavors and integration.

This Kentucky Bourbon pays tribute to the earliest days of our distillery’s history, when in 1939 we released our first Bottled-in-Bond. This Bourbon was our namesake brand, and quickly became the top-seller in the state of Kentucky. Still today, the craftsmanship poured into Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond by the same founding family meets the exacting standards first set forth in the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897.
