Heaven Hill Kentucky Bourbon

Wine information: Founded shortly after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, Heaven Hill became the largest independent, family-owned producer and marketer of distilled spirits in the United States. Heaven Hill‘s success is due to a mix of good business acumen, continuity, heritage and uncompromising craftsmanship. The company is still owned by descendants of the founding Shapira brothers and five generations of the famous Beam family have overseen the distillation. Located in Bardstown, Kentucky, Heaven Hill is the world’s second largest holder of bourbon whiskey with over 675,000 charred white oak barrels ageing in 42 open-rick warehouses. Double-distillation takes place at the modern Bernheim facility where Craig and Parker Beam produce rye and wheat influenced bourbons as well as straight rye, corn and wheat whiskies, using their own family yeast strain—now in its fifth generation! By law, Bourbon must be made up of at least 51% corn and be aged a minimum of two years in a new charred white oak barrel, standards that were pioneered by early Bourbon makers such as Evan Williams and Rev. Elijah Craig. Using a time-honoured recipe dating back to 1788, this signature bourbon, which carries the company’s name, is an excellent all-purpose bourbon of superb value. Aged for four years in new, charred white American oak, and then charcoal filtered and bottled, Heaven Hill Old Style bourbon is featured in cocktails and poured in trendy bars around the world. It has aromas of light flowery oak and hints of vanilla on the nose. The palate is light and uncomplicated but with a good balance of spirit and oak. The finish is full with a touch of pepper. Smooth, mild and mellow. Kentucky Bourbon was declared “America's Native Spirit” by a 1964 act of Congress
