Eighteen years in a Kentucky rickhouseonly a tiny fraction of Heaven Hill’s millions of barrels survive that long without becoming over-oaked. This single-barrel bottling from Barrel #7476 (bottled 7/14/25) represents one specific barrel’s journey through nearly two decades of seasonal temperature swings in Bardstown. The mash bill is Heaven Hill’s classic: 78% corn, 12% malted barley, 10% rye. At 90 proof, it’s more restrained than many cask-strength releases, letting the extended oak influence speak for itself. Each barrel is uniquethis one will never be repeated.
