Experience a true innovation in American whiskey with the Heaven Hill 9 Year Old Double Mash Bourbon Bottled In Bond. Released in August 2026, this exceptional expression unites two iconic recipes into a single, masterful Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Under the expert guidance of Master Distiller Conor O'Driscoll, this release showcases Heaven Hill's deep respect for tradition while pushing the boundaries of the Bottled-in-Bond standards.
What sets the Double Mash apart is its unique composition. The final whiskey is a meticulous blend of two-thirds traditional bourbon (78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley) and one-third wheated bourbon (68% corn, 20% wheat, 12% malted barley). Both individual components are patiently aged for exactly nine years before being brought together. The traditional bourbon mashbill is designed to contribute robust structure, spice, and richness, while the wheated component adds a softer and more rounded character. Honoring the strict regulations of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, it is bottled at precisely 100 proof (50% ABV).
Tasting Notes
Nose: An inviting bouquet of toasted oak and sweet honey, complemented by a subtle hint of white pepper.
Palate: The palate is bright and rich, delivering pronounced notes of honey and citrus oil. Additional complex layers reveal hints of maple, honey butter, flamed orange peel, and dark chocolate.
Finish: Long, deep, and complex, leaving a lingering warmth of rich caramel and baking spices. It slowly fades with echoes of stone fruit, dark espresso, and black pepper.
