Archives - 10 year Heaven Hill Whiskey - Thoughts??

[Bob_Loblaw]

This one caught me by total surprise as I had no idea something like this even exists.  It is a 10 year old, NCF, SiB, BP, Heaven Hill distillate.  Selected by WhiskeyBase in Netherlands.  No sure where aged or bottled.  750ml bottle.  $110 price tag.  

 

Interesting bottle and if the juice were top notch I would probably pull the trigger.  But knowing nothing I would probably just keep "rolling the dice" that my 2x ECBP will be light years better than this bottle.   This one is certainly more unique though.

 

Anyone have more information or even better maybe tried this one?

Nope. I saw it too but $11 per year for barrel proof HH of mystery background is a no go for me without trying it first.

Yeah realized after posting it should have been in the what did you pass on thread.  I found a nice OBSF and EW SiB today and am very happy with that choice.  As @flahute would say.  Lawrenceburg for the win!

Nice! I just opened an OBSF a couple days ago and it's excellent.

Indie cask HH appears quite frequently here in the UK. Unfortunately there is usually little info on where these casks have matured. There is no info on whether the cask spent half it's life in KY and then half in Scotland, or fully matured in one or the other. The reviews of said casks seem to suggest that they have spent most of their life outside of KY, which affects the profile of course, and not usually for the best.
