Whiskies from 'Heaven Hill Distillery'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Heaven Hill Distillery.

• Elijah Craig 12 Years Old

Less structured than might be expected in a 12 Years Old, but a perilously drinkable, appetising bourbon.

• Elijah Craig 12 Years Old

Oak (and age) has lessened the creaminess and sweetness of the spirit. Would probably tune in with a cigar, but too oaky for me.

• Elijah Craig 18 Years Old

Very urbane.

• Evan Williams 1990, Single Barrel

Very different in style. Liqueur-ish.

• Evan Williams 1991, Single Barrel

Where did she go? Will she return?

• Evan Williams 1993, Single Barrel

The big, malty, chocolately style that I associate with Evan Williams. A lovely, voluptuous, after-dinner bourbon. Gains from a splash of water.

• Evan Williams 23 Years Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

A lovely bourbon, but I prefer it younger.

• Evan Williams Black

Reminiscent of an old calvados at first. Palate is less creamy than the nose. For those who like it spicy. Water tames spices a little though.

• Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon, 1994

Another great vintage from Heaven Hill.

• Henry McKenna Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Shy. Diffident. But with its own delicacy.

• JTS Brown

A pleasant balance between oaky and creamy notes. The finish is surprisingly long for the alcoholic strength. The mid palate is a bit watery.

• Parker Heritage Collection Collection 1996 Cask Strength Small Batch Bourbon

Copes with high alcohol well. Great balance, poise and sophistication.
