Overview

Each limited edition of William Heavenhill is a unique expression of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. For William Heavenhill, distilling was a family tradition. By some accounts Heavenhill’s Corn Whiskey supplied Bardstown’s historic Talbott Tavern in the early 1800s. But our connection to his legacy runs even deeper. The limestone spring Heavenhill used to make his Bourbon was the same spring that inspired our original name—Old Heavenhill Springs Distillery.

Tasting notes

Palate: Heat comes first, just a split second before all the flavors come barging in: pretzel crusts, spiced red fruits, and that incredibly indulgent dark chocolate and smoke combination when Highland Park meets sherry.

The Highland Park character was muted on the nose, but it’s in full force here. Mouthfeel is syrupy, rich, coating, tingly, and full-bodied. If smoked chocolate was a thing, this would be the liquid form. Toasted hazelnuts emerge with a little air, adding even more character.

Finish: Finish is chocolate lava cake with an almost burnt chocolate and red wine sauce, surrounded by caramelized plums, dates, and hazelnuts.
