Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 20 year old Small Batch Kentucky Straight Corn, 57.5%

Price: 290 Issue: Summer 2023 Reviewer: Jeffery Lindenmuth Category: Miscellaneous

Dusty oak leads the way here, but it’s backed with intense solvent notes that suggest hot corn oil and movie popcorn, tinged with spearmint. It’s a real burner on the palate, quick to attack and quite intense for its light body. A generous splash of water releases more sweetness and some dried fruit notes as earthy oak meets root beer spice and menthol on the finish.
