My whiskey profile is High Proof, Carmel, Vanilla and Spice......This Taasting focuses on Heaven Hill's Bottled-in-Bond bourbon, which exceeds the required four-year aging by maturing for seven years, following the strict conditions of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. This Act ensures the bourbon is 100 proof, produced within a single season at one distillery, and aged under government supervision without any additives. With a mash bill of 76% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley, the bourbon presents a flavor profile rich in caramel, maple syrup, oak, and vanilla. Its thick, slow-moving "legs" indicate a higher proof, leading to a sweet start, spicy middle, and warm, medium to long finish. Rated a four out of five, it's highly recommended for those venturing beyond basic bourbons, embodying quality and a depth of flavor that lingers longer than many others in its price range. The Bottled-in-Bond label guarantees a product free from dilution and harmful additives, making it a trusted choice for consumers.
