Heaven Hill 90th Anniversary 9-Year Bourbon: A Historic Tribute
Celebrate nine decades of family tradition and American whiskey excellence with the Heaven Hill 90th Anniversary Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for rare and historic spirits, is honored to present this limited-edition release, a tribute to Heaven Hill's legacy as the largest independent, family-owned distillery in the United States.
This exceptional bourbon is a masterclass in blending and history. It is crafted from Heaven Hill’s traditional bourbon mashbill of 78% Corn, 12% Malted Barley, and 10% Rye. The liquid is drawn from a specific lot of 204 barrels, all distilled on December 13, 2015—a date that marked Heaven Hill’s 80th Anniversary.
These barrels were patiently aged for nine years and eight months on the 4th and 6th floors of Rickhouses G and H, allowing the Kentucky climate to deeply influence the spirit. The resulting whiskey is a thoughtfully constructed blend of 70% traditional Kentucky Straight Bourbon and 30% Kentucky Straight Bourbon aged in heavy char barrels. This unique heavy-char component adds a profound richness and oak-driven complexity to the final profile.
Bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV)—a nod to the historic barrel entry proof—and non-chill filtered, this bourbon preserves its full, natural character and viscous mouthfeel.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A warm and inviting aroma of toasted oak, caramelized sugar, and rich vanilla, layered with baking spices and a hint of dark fruit from the heavy char influence.
Palate: A full-bodied and complex palate. Deep notes of dark caramel, seasoned oak, and dried fruit are balanced by the sweetness of the corn and a subtle, smoky char.
Finish: Long, warming, and memorable. Lingering notes of oak, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a gentle, savory smokiness.
This commemorative release is a piece of bourbon history, bridging the 80th and 90th anniversaries of the Shapira family's legacy. As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier destination for this highly allocated bottling. Add this milestone bourbon to your collection.
