At 19 years outdated, the oldest thus far on this particular line the whiskey is comprised of barrels produced in September 2003, and bottled in October of 2022.
Bottled in an ornate decanter, the autumn version denotes a black label, constant throughout all fall releases. As was the case for the previous editions, this version’s tax strip, which has at all times been a signature of transparency on bottled-in-bond merchandise, will disclose when the liquid was produced and bottled. It options Bourbon pulled from throughout three flooring of rickhouse F and one flooring of rickhouse X at Heaven Hill Distillery’s predominant campus.
GSN’s Remarks: A great deal of oak on the nostril, together with extra reticent notes of cocoa, vanilla bean and pipe tobacco. The preliminary tasting reveals a complete lot of candy, with a weird floral bent. The oak comes by right here as effectively, however not as aggressive as one would possibly count on. There’s truly plenty of disparate components that hold popping up because the tasting progresses, however they’re extra curious than distracting. The whole lot is tied along with a pleasant malted barley character that exudes southern hospitality. A distinct expression from what we’ve come to count on on this collection, however a winner nonetheless. GSN Score: A-
