Hedmans Brorsa Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I´m pretty sure that one or even two years ago there was some info about a barrel proof Heaven Hill bourbon being on its way, but since then I haven´t heard anything about this.I was really looking forward to this and I wonder if anyone knows something more? Or did I perhaps dream about it? :grin:I tried using the search function but so many here use HH instead of Heaven Hill and barrel strength/cask strength instead of proof, so it was quite difficult to navigate.

cowdery Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I've never heard of a barrel-proof HH, either actual or impending. Seems like something they should do, though, under one of their brands, at least as a special edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyc Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Once I mentioned this to Larry Kass and he said we already have one, Original Barrel 107 proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit pricey though.Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedmans Brorsa Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Have you tried any of these Cadenheads bottlings, Leif? I haven´t but I really don´t know why. Maybe because there´s always something hazardous about independent bottlings. If you are unlucky you could end up with a really dodgy bottle, even if the distillery in question is irreproachable.Anyways, what I had in mind was an official HH bottling. After doing an extensive search I eventually found the post in question. It´s from 2004 but beware : it´s from the old forum with no converted smilies. Bearing in mind Bettye Jo´s charming penchant for smilies it is not always easy to read.http://www.straightbourbon.com/ubbthreads/showthread.php?t=3127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EWSB Vintage unveiling usually starts with a tasting at barrel proof and it's a Stagg-worthy 145. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also wait for an official HH uncut and hopefully unfiltered bottle. Leif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wku88 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Once I mentioned this to Larry Kass and he said we already have one, Original Barrel 107 proof.Where, pray tell, can one acquire a bottle? Is this a new product that is still aging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
