This week Heaven Hill announced their 85th Anniversary single barrel bourbon. Heaven Hill’s 85th Anniversary is a 13 Year old Single Barrel Straight Bourbon. This release uses bourbon from a barrel filled on December 13th, 2006 and stopped aging on December 13th, 2019. This date honors the anniversary of Heaven Hill’s very first filled Kentucky bourbon barrel back in 1935. This special bourbon aged on Heaven Hill’s main Bardstown campus on the second floor of Rickhouse “G.” Bourbon was then cut to 107 proof which is a callback to Heaven Hill’s original barrel entry proof in 1935. Bourbon is also non-chill-filtered.
Heaven Hill’s 85th Anniversary 13 year old bourbon is available the later part of 2020. The Bourbon Heritage center and a select Kentucky retailers will carry this release. 85th Anniversary will have an MSRP of $299.99 per 750-ml bottle.
