William Heavenhill 225th Anniversary Edition

Aged for 225 months (18 years 9 months). Only 225 bottles available and only at one location: Heaven Hill’s Bourbon Heritage Center in Bardstown KY. This is a lot of money for a bourbon but if you do buy a bottle you’re going to enjoy it. It’s spicy (especially on the nose) with cinnamon bark spearmint and nutmeg. The spice is balanced by an array of sweeter fruit notes (bramble ripe orchard fruits) vanilla custard fig molasses cola and charcoal. Soft on the finish. Very polished and well-balanced. It’s much more mellow when compared to Heaven Hill’s other recent ultra-premium release Parker’s Heritage Collection 27 year old.
