Production & Style
Origin: USA, Kentucky.

Type: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Mash bill: Heaven Hill’s standard “HH Reg” bourbon recipe — approx. 78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley, giving pronounced corn sweetness with modest rye spice.

Maturation: Around 3 years (sometimes cited as 3–4 years) in new charred American oak barrels, contributing caramel, vanilla and light oak tannins.

Bottling: 80 proof (40% ABV), designed to be smooth and approachable neat, on the rocks, or as a cocktail base.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Light to medium amber, with a warm golden‑oak hue.

Nose: Soft and light, with corn sweetness, caramel, vanilla, faint apple juice, honey and cereal grain, plus a touch of oak spice (cinnamon, nutmeg).

Palate: Light‑to‑medium body, very easy drinking. Flavours of caramel corn, vanilla pudding, light toffee and baked apple, with only a subtle rye‑driven spice; alcohol is gentle, and a splash of water further softens the bite.

Finish: Short‑to‑medium length, with lingering caramel, vanilla, a hint of bitter orange peel and soft oak, clean and unfussy — ideal as an everyday sipper or mixer.

Serving Suggestions
Serving temperature:

• Neat / on the rocks: around 12–18°C.
