Heaven Hill 7 yr Bottled In Bond 50% 750ml Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
| Description: | This Kentucky Bourbon pays tribute to the earliest days of our distillerys 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. Proof: 100 Proof Age: 7 Years Old Tasting Notes Color: Golden amber Aroma: Warm notes of vanilla, honey and a rich caramel sweetness Taste: Smooth, warm and sweet with a subtle rye spice note; caramel and honey mingle with just enough oak and char to round out the richness Finish: Long, lingering Expertise in Every Ounce In this behind-the-scenes look at Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond, our master distiller and national brand ambassador join two industry experts to discuss the quality, craftsmanship, and legacy that's poured into each award-winning bottle. Following in the Footsteps Weve always been family-owned and operated by the Shapira family. That independence has allowed us to uphold our own standards, adhering to the same values instilled by those who started Heaven Hill. In 1935, Heaven Hill put its first whiskey into barrels, but it wasnt until four years later, in 1939, that we released the original Old Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon. That singular decisionto be patient and allow the whiskey to properly maturewas tough, but it paid off. The whiskey quickly became the number-one-selling Bourbon in the state of Kentucky. Those lessons of patience and perseverance continue to drive Heaven Hill today. Echoes from the Past In the early days of the American whiskey industry, not all the products were up to the same standards we expect today. Less-than-scrupulous merchants would mix spirits with "rectifiers" like prune juice, water steeped with tobacco, or even kerosene. In response, Congress passed the Bottled-in-Bond act of 1897, in essence guaranteeing the whiskeys quality. During Prohibition, a lot of whiskey was produced through dubious, not to mention illegal, methods. Once lawful production of Bourbon distillation was re-introduced in the 1930s, Bottled-in-Bond remained the best way for Heaven Hill to communicate our standards of excellence, and we have proudly featured that seal of approval on many of our whiskeys ever since. In doing so, weve kept this important American Whiskey tradition alive. To this day, Heaven Hill produces more Bottled-in-Bond spirits than any other distillery. Legacy Within the Label To share this extraordinary Bourbon with the world, we crafted a label inspired by historic design and the various ways that our past Bottled-in-Bond releases have looked throughout the years. With artwork that reimagines historic elements into a modern interpretation, the label helps convey the premium nature of the liquid inside. 1 The illustration at the center of the label is hand-sketched and showcases Heaven Hill Distillerys original location in Bardstown, Kentucky. 1 The illustration at the center of the label is hand-sketched and showcases Heaven Hill Distillerys original location in Bardstown, Kentucky. 2 Family Owned Since 1935 is a very special claim to Heaven Hill Distillery.
