HEAVEN HILL – Heritage Collection 19 Year Old (2025 Release)
Kentucky, USA
The 2025 release of the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection is a 19-year-old Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey, representing one of the oldest and rarest expressions ever produced by the distillery.
This edition showcases Heaven Hill’s wheat whiskey mashbill, offering a softer, more elegant profile compared to traditional rye-based bourbons.
Age: 19 years
Proof: 100 (50% ABV)
Mashbill: 51% wheat, 37% corn, 12% malted barley
Barrels: 277 barrels distilled in 2005
This is notably the oldest wheat whiskey ever released by Heaven Hill, making it highly collectible.
Nose: Aged oak, butterscotch, stewed fruit, and soft grain sweetness
Palate: Rich yet elegant, with cinnamon, vanilla, baked apple, and gentle spice
Finish: Medium-long with caramel, maple sweetness, and peppery spice
Expect a profile that is rounder, softer, and more dessert-driven than typical bourbon, with less aggressive spice and more sweet, aged complexity.
Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey
Ultra-aged (19 years)
Lower proof for this age → refined and approachable
Elegant, soft, and layered rather than powerful
Best enjoyed neat, or with a few drops of water to open up the aromatics.
At Mario’s or The Tasting Room, this is:
A conversation piece
Perfect as a high-end after-dinner pour
Ideal for guests who already drink Pappy, BTAC, or rare Scotch
In simple terms:
This is one of the rarest expressions of wheat whiskey ever released—less about power, more about age, elegance, and uniqueness.
