Introducing the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 17 Year Old Barrel Proof Bourbon (First Edition, 2022), a prestigious and highly limited release that marks the debut of Heaven Hill’s new annual collection. This exceptional bourbon is made with the same unwavering commitment to quality that has defined Heaven Hill since 1935. Drawing from some of the oldest inventory in the distillery’s extensive stock, this release offers a unique opportunity to experience the artistry and patience behind Heaven Hill’s bourbon-making process.
The first edition of the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection is crafted from a mashbill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley, and bottled at a robust barrel proof of 118.2. It is a rich blend of 28% 20-year-old barrels, 44% 19-year-old barrels, and 28% 17-year-old barrels—sourced from Heaven Hill’s Deatsville, Glencoe, Schenley, and Bardstown campus warehouses. This rare, 17-year-old bourbon is a true testament to Heaven Hill’s patience and dedication to ultra-aging techniques.
The nose is bold and enticing, offering rich aromas of caramelized sugar, oak spice, and dark fruit, with hints of vanilla and toasted wood. On the palate, this barrel-proof bourbon reveals layers of butterscotch, toffee, and aged leather, accented by a warming spiciness and deep oak tannins. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of smoky oak, dark chocolate, and a touch of peppermint.
A premium offering in both flavor and presentation, each bottle is housed in a custom, signature Heaven Hill blue box, embossed with the iconic double-H insignia in gold. The packaging highlights key details like mashbill percentages, barrel age, and warehouse locations, ensuring this bottle is not only a rare find but a collector’s treasure.
The Heaven Hill Heritage Collection will continue to offer a glimpse into the distillery’s dedication to aging and crafting remarkable whiskeys, with future releases drawn from one of the six traditional American whiskey mashbills produced at Heaven Hill.
This first edition of the Heritage Collection will be released in March 2022 on a limited basis.
