*Highest Proof Bottling of William Heavenhill*

*May Have Minor Wax Crack*

This is the fourth edition of William Heavenhill, and was distilled at Bernheim and bottled at cask strength 15 years later in Bardstown in a one-time run.

Bernheim is a historic Kentucky distillery. It was established by the Bernheim Brothers in the late 19th century, before passing into the hands of the Schenley company following the repeal of Prohibition. When Schenley were bought over by United Distillers in 1987, the distillery was rebuilt as the new owners looked to consolidate their production to a single facility. When United Distillers became Diageo in 1997, the new parent company were interested in bourbon, and sold the distillery to Heaven Hill. Heaven Hill were established in 1935, but their long-serving Bardstown distillery was lost in a devastating fire in 1996. Homeless for three years, the company acquired Bernheim in 1999, and have produced all of their whiskey there ever since.

This ninth edition of William Heavenhill is comprised of only 34 barrels pulled from the 4th floor of Rickhouse LL at Schenley. These barrels were allowed to age for an impressive 15 years before being selected for this limited edition offering.

*May Have Minor Wax Crack*

This sixth edition of William Heavenhill is a limited and unique offering. Less than 60 barrels make up this edition, but they have been dumped into separate small batches to preserve each warehouse's unique aging effect on the barrels.

Knowing that rye has roots extending to the beginning of American Whiskey and holds more than two centuries of heritage, you could say, “it’s been done.” But with this chapter, “Path Not Taken,” we explore the future of American Rye by blending a unique range of rye whiskies together and show you that rye still has plenty of stories left to tell.

“Path Not Taken” is about reimagining the variety that rye grain has to offer and pushing the limits of what it can be. We look across America’s oldest whiskey frontier from a new vantage point and create a complex, redefined and differentiated profile by blending ryes of different age, char and mash bill.

The story of rye has been told countless ways. But never like this.

Age: Blend of 6,7 & 9 Year Old Bourbon

Tasting Notes: Nose: Layers of baked blackberry with cream, brown sugar, and nutmeg open up into aromas of leather, and cigar box to build a complex nose that continues to develop in the glass.

Palate: Dark fruit and nutmeg make an appearance along with vibrant cognac, but eventually give way to caramel and aged oak, showing the strong character of the aged bourbons in the blend.

Finish: Similar to the palate, the finish begins with a burst of rich port wine sweetness which transitions into seasoned oak and worn leather.

About: 15 STARS Triple Cask Bourbon is a marriage of two Kentucky straight bourbons aged 16 & 8 years. This blend of mature bourbons was finished in port, cognac, and rum casks for 8 months to extract the unique influences of each of these spirits. Each finishing barrel provides a distinctly different dimension that when blended together creates a complex and interesting whiskey that is one of a kind.

The Story: 

15 STARS celebrates Kentucky history. In 1795, Kentucky was recognized as the 15th US state on the historic 15 star and 15 stripe US flag, the second flag of the nation. At that time Kentucky was emerging as a hub for high quality craftsmen and artisans in trades such as gunsmithing, furniture making, silversmithing, distilling, and more. 15 STARS Bourbon approaches their work the same way as these early Kentucky artisans, by pouring their effort into the creation of a great product that will stand the test of time.

Mash Bill: Traditional Rye Bourbon 

Proof: 102 Proof

Story: Fortuna was a prolific brand in the United States from the late 1800’s until the 1960’s, when they closed the doors on the distillery. It is now being revitalized for a new generation of whiskey lovers by the people behind Rare Character Whiskey - Andy Shapira, Pablo Moix, and Peter Nevenglosky.

At the height of America's original whiskey boom of the late nineteenth century, a German immigrant named Phil Hollenbach crafted a brand called Fortuna that helped define the early days of the modern Bourbon industry. Hollenbach left a lasting mark on the whiskey trade having found great success in Louisville, Kentucky. He strived to delight customers far and wide by sharing his "Taste of Good Fortune." 

Over a hundred years since its inception, Fortuna Bourbon has now been revitalized for a new generation of whiskey lovers to celebrate. Aged a minimum of six years and hand-selected by the folks behind Rare Character Whiskey, the spirit of Hollenbach's passion and dedication lives on in this remarkable Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

Part of the limited core range, the Kilkerran 8 year old cask strength is released annually, either as a one or two part release. Previous releases have included full maturations in Bourbon, Port and Sherry, with the latest releases fully matured in Oloroso Sherry.

2024 Release

Today, Glengyle Distillery is operated by the staff of Springbank Distillery, and uses barley that has been malted at Springbank in order to produce its own single malt whisky. In addition, the distillery is the focus of innovation and experimentation for the Springbank staff — the distillery has used peated malt (a type of malt typically reserved for distilleries on Islay) and has quadruple distilled whisky in order to test its texture and flavor profile. This Kilkerran 12 year is a lightly peated whisky, comprised of 70% bourbon casks and 30% sherry casks. Expect beautiful honeyed aromas, complex flavors of sweet spice, and smooth vanilla.

Frank August presents Case Study: 03 Winter Cover Rye, a meticulously crafted Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey that captures the bold spirit of winter. This exclusive small-batch release is distilled and aged in Kentucky, with each step carefully managed to produce a whiskey of exceptional quality and character.
