Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Deep, warming, and quietly luxurious, Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 22Yr Bourbon delivers the kind of mature bourbon character that lingers long after the glass is set down. This United States whiskey carries a bold 56.20% ABV, giving its rich layers of dark caramel, seasoned oak, toasted vanilla, leather, baking spice, and roasted nuts impressive depth without losing balance. As a bourbon, it reflects the classic American profile of corn-based whiskey aged in new charred oak barrels, with its 22 years of maturity adding polished wood tones and a long, resonant finish. Pair it with smoked brisket to echo its savory oak and spice, or dark chocolate to draw out its cocoa, caramel, and warm vanilla notes.

Producer Information: Heaven Hill Distillery

Heaven Hill Distillery was founded in 1935 in Bardstown, Kentucky, just after Prohibition, by the Shapira family and a group of local investors who saw bourbon as deeply tied to Kentucky’s limestone-rich water, grain farming, and aging climate. Still family-owned, the company built its identity around traditional American whiskey production, especially corn-based bourbon matured in new charred oak barrels across Kentucky rickhouses. Its philosophy centers on patience, consistency, and preserving regional whiskey heritage while operating at significant scale. Beyond its core bourbon portfolio, Heaven Hill also produces Elijah Craig, Evan Williams, Larceny, Henry McKenna, Rittenhouse Rye, Pikesville Rye, Mellow Corn, and a wider spirits range that includes Burnett’s Vodka, Christian Brothers Brandy, Blackheart Rum, and Deep Eddy Vodka.
