The Heaven Hill Heritage Collection showcases some of the distillery’s oldest barrel stocks and features extra-aged straight American whiskeys released annually each spring. Each edition is drawn from one of Heaven Hill’s six traditional mashbills, with proof and age varying by release. The 2025 release is a 19-year-old Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey, distilled in August and September 2005 from a mashbill of 51% wheat, 37% corn and 12% malted barley. It was bottled at 100 proof, non-chill filtered and aged in 277 barrels on the fifth and sixth floors of rickhouse Y.
Most importantly, it’s a delicious, balanced offering most bourbon drinkers — the core target demographic — will enjoy. There’s plenty to enjoy from first sniff to final sip, with flavors that both invite and buttress wheat whiskey as a unique category all its own.
A worthy addition to Heaven Hill’s annual Heritage Collection, this whiskey’s finish lasts long and pops with cherry cola, raisins, and sweet vanilla cream.
