On November 7, 1996, a fire destroyed Heaven Hill’s original distillery in Bardstown, along with seven rickhouses and nearly 100,000 barrels of aging bourbon. No one was lost, the company’s yeast strain survived, and Heaven Hill rebuilt. For the 30th anniversary, the family-owned distillery blended \u003cstrong\u003e18-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon\u003c\/strong\u003e (produced in March 2008 and matured in heavy-char barrels) with \u003cstrong\u003e30-year-old whiskey distilled at the original Old Heaven Hill Springs Distillery before the fire\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving every bottle a physical link to the place that burned. It’s bottled at \u003cstrong\u003e107 proof (53.5% ABV)\u003c\/strong\u003e, which the brand ties to the distillery’s original 1935 barrel-entry proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHeaven Hill describes a nose of polished oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, and caramel, and a finish with apple pie and pepper spice. Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll says it balances the mature oak and length of the 30-year-old component with the structure of the 18-year-old. The bottle is decorated with a phoenix and comes in a gift carton with a phoenix rising from ashes. It’s a \u003cstrong\u003eone-time, limited-market release\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it’s a collector’s piece and a meaningful gift for bourbon fans who care about Kentucky history. To be clear about what’s in it: this is an 18-year-old bourbon with a 30-year-old component, and the brand doesn’t disclose the proportion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003eAbout the Bottle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKentucky straight bourbon; 18-year age statement, blended with 30-year-old pre-fire whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e107 proof (53.5% ABV); heavy-char barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-time 30th anniversary commemorative release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeaven Hill Distillery, Bardstown, Kentucky; 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Heaven Hill’s own notes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, and caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mature oak with caramel and baking spices, with the structure of a long-aged bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apple pie and pepper spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe oak and baking spices pair well with dark chocolate, aged cheddar, and pecan pie.
