The Legend of "National Distillers" High-Rye Spirit

For the "dusty" hunter, the phrase "National Distillers" is synonymous with excellence. This 1986 Old Grand-Dad (OGD) was bottled at the height of the brand’s glory at the Old Grand-Dad Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky (DSP-KY-14).

Unlike modern iterations, the 1980s National Distillers era of OGD is world-renowned for its specific yeast strain and heavy rye mashbill that produced a flavor profile unlike anything else in Kentucky history. This 1986 vintage is one of the final expressions produced under the original ownership before the 1987 acquisition by Beam, making it a high-demand "transition era" bottle.

• The "Orange Foil" Era: This bottle comes from the era where OGD gained its reputation for a unique "butterscotch and citrus" funk. It is widely considered by historians to be a completely different spirit than the modern version.

• The Final Years of DSP-KY-14: By 1987, production moved, and the original stills were eventually silenced. This 1986 bottling captures the raw, unfiltered character of the Frankfort distillery in its final prime years.

• Investment Grade: National Distillers-era bottles have seen some of the highest appreciation in the vintage market. This particular example includes the original presentation box, adding significantly to its display and resale value.

Vintage Brook Hill dated 1988 from glass mold stamp.  Likely source of distillation is Heaven Hill (pre-fire).

The Holy Grail of "Pre-Fire" Kentucky Spirit

For the serious bourbon historian, the year 1996 marks a tragic dividing line: the Great Heaven Hill Fire. This 1988 vintage Brook Hill was distilled and barreled nearly a decade before that historic blaze destroyed the original Seven Brothers distillery (DSP-KY-31) and its irreplaceable maturing stocks.

Identified by the 1988 glass mold stamp, this expression captures the heavy, oily, and complex character that made "Pre-Fire" Heaven Hill the stuff of legend. While the Brook Hill label has recently been revived by Rare Character, this original 1980s bottling is a true "dusty" relic—a preserved time capsule of 20th-century craftsmanship.

Historical Significance & Collector’s Notes

The Heaven Hill Connection: Brook Hill was a historic label often associated with the Keiler and Friedman families. By the 1980s, the brand was being bottled using premium stocks from Heaven Hill’s original Bardstown site.

The 1988 Glass Code: In the world of vintage spirits, the bottle tells the truth. The "88" embossed on the glass floor confirms this bottle was produced during the peak of Kentucky’s "Glut Era," when some of the finest barrels in history were being diverted into labels like Brook Hill.

Pre-Fire Profile: Unlike modern distillates, bourbon from this era is renowned for a "dusty" funk—a unique combination of butterscotch, old leather, and dense oak spice that resulted from older fermentation styles and different grain sources no longer in use.

Tasting Notes (Vintage Profile)
Nose: Deep, concentrated aromas of antique furniture polish, dark maple syrup, and sun-dried tobacco leaves.

Palate: A velvety, "chewy" mouthfeel characteristic of the era. Rich notes of burnt caramel, holiday spices, and a hint of dark cocoa.

Finish: Exceptionally long and drying, leaving a lingering trail of seasoned oak and sweet pipe tobacco.

This is the 12th edition of the William Heavenhill bottlings available only at the Heaven Hill Bourbon Heritage Center in Bardstown, Kentucky. Each edition is bottled to showcase the skills of the master distillers, Denny Potter and Charlie Downs. The 12th edition is a Kentucky straight bourbon  comprised of only 30 barrels aged 19 years. These barrels matured on the 4th and 5th floors of Rickhosue A at the historic Glencoe Rickhouse site, as well as the 5th and 7th floors of Rickhouse O at the main Heaven Hill rickhouse site. Bottled at barrel proof and non-chill filtered, this marks the oldest release in the series todate.

From the distiller: 

With Colere, we set out to chart the direct impact of barley on flavor. Each release begins to explore the thousands of new and forgotten varieties of barley whose flavor has yet to be considered. Edition 4 of Colere originates from Fritz barley, also known as NZ-151. This barley, derived from WSU's research, presents a variety of ester notes that present themselves in a bouquet of fruit tones that transition to an herbaceous finish.
