The had a few bottles of the Heavenhill at the Heritage Center back in early April ,with a one-bottle limit. They even gave us a pour at the "Connoisseur" tasting. It was really, really good, but I couldn't get past the $250.00 price tag. That's okay...my buddy bought one, so I'll drink his 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience is that's pushing it a little; not to say this bottling is over-oaked; but the 14-year I had from a couple years ago was about right up to the line IMO. I assume you aren't finding it too oaky, eh...Skinsfan1311? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was oak, but it wasn't over the top. We drank a lot of bourbon on this trip and the 16 year was one of the better ones. I'm too much of a cheap bastard to pay $250.00, but my buddy didn't hesitate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam777 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Does the 13yr come recommended by the community? I got a call from my local that I had one If I wanted at $139.99. It’s awfully steep so wanted to see the consensus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very good bourbon showing nice butterscotch and vanilla notes with a nice spicy finish. As a collectors item, it is worth the price to me. I would not say the juice alone is worth the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of the ECBP, but the William Heavenhill, IMHO, is much better. We were fortunate enough to do a SBS tasting, at Heaven Hill, that had both in the lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geclbxf Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Pa Fine Wine and Spirits sold out of their allocation via an email blast in less than 6 minutes. Bottles were already gone 6 minutes after email release when I checked. My buddy said that there were more than 300 hundred in inventory when he bought his shortly after the email went out. I admire the everyone gets a chance mentality, but clearly had to be in front of your computer when the blast went out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
