Heaven Hill Bottled-In-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

We’ve always been family-owned and operated by the Shapira family. That independence has allowed us to uphold our own standards, adhering to the same values instilled by those who started Heaven Hill. In 1935, Heaven Hill put its first whiskey into barrels, but it wasn’t until four years later, in 1939, that we released the original Old Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon. That singular decision—to be patient and allow the whiskey to properly mature—was tough, but it paid off. The whiskey quickly became the number-one-selling Bourbon in the state of Kentucky. Those lessons of patience and perseverance continue to drive Heaven Hill today.

In the early days of the American whiskey industry, not all the products were up to the same standards we expect today. Less-than-scrupulous merchants would mix spirits with “rectifiers” like prune juice, water steeped with tobacco, or even kerosene. In response, Congress passed the Bottled-in-Bond act of 1897, in essence guaranteeing the whiskey’s quality. During Prohibition, a lot of whiskey was produced through dubious, not to mention illegal, methods. Once lawful production of Bourbon distillation was re-introduced in the 1930s, Bottled-in-Bond remained the best way for Heaven Hill to communicate our standards of excellence, and we have proudly featured that seal of approval on many of our whiskeys ever since. In doing so, we’ve kept this important American Whiskey tradition alive. To this day, Heaven Hill produces more Bottled-in-Bond spirits than any other distillery.

Heaven Hill Bottled-In-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey offers a bold, full-bodied profile that embodies traditional craftsmanship and heritage. It opens with rich aromas of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, accented by hints of dried fruit, baking spices, and fresh corn. On the palate, sweet notes of toffee, honey, and brown sugar are balanced by cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of charred oak, providing depth and warmth. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering impressions of vanilla bean, peppery spice, and dry oak. Bottled at 100 proof and aged a minimum of four years, this Bottled-in-Bond expression delivers consistency, authenticity, and the signature quality of Heaven Hill’s bourbon legacy.
