Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond 7-Year-Old Bourbon pays tribute to the earliest days of the distillery's history when, in 1939, it released Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond. The namesake brand quickly became the number-one-selling Bourbon whiskey in Kentucky. Still today, the craftsmanship poured into this bottle by the same founding family meets the exacting standards first outlined in the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897.
Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond 7-Year-Old Bourbon is made with a mash bill of 75% corn, 15% rye, and 12% malted barley. To be labeled a BIB, the whiskey must be the product of one distillation season and one distiller at a single distillery, aged in a federally bonded warehouse under U.S. government supervision for at least four years, and it must be bottled at precisely 100 proof. Additionally, the BIB label must identify the distillery where it was distilled and where it was bottled, if different.

Aroma: Warm notes of vanilla, honey, and a rich caramel sweetness.
Palate: Smooth, warm, and sweet with a subtle rye spice note; caramel and honey mingle with just enough oak and char to round out the richness.
