Tasting Notes by Angus MacRaild (Whisky Consultant & Author)
Colour: deep gold.
Nose: a well balanced and approachable profile, with butterscotch, popcorn and coconut shavings up front, there's also a pleasing lack of aggression from the alcohol, despite the high ABV. Continues with candy floss, some cooking oils and toasted marshmallow. Water brings a more nuanced aroma profile, with softer notes of sandalwood and meadow flowers.
Palate: classical 'early landed' bourbon profile, with familiar impressions of varnish and glue, followed by burnt orange peel, liquorice root and gently drying wood spices. Some specific notes of pine wood resins, orange cough syrup and tea tree oil. Water releases more oiliness but also more wood spice and firmer cereal notes. A feeling of rye-driven spiciness in the mouth now.
Finish: good length. Robust spices lingering with more bitter orange notes, hardwood resins and liquorice.
Comments: a fine and well-structured Heaven Hill, that clearly bears the influence, and benefit, of a longer cooler climate maturation. There's some attractive spiciness throughout that makes it a compelling dram.

Heaven Hill
Despite being such a huge name in whiskey and bourbon production, supplying a variety of other brands, Heaven Hill is a relatively new name in distilling terms. Founded in 1935 as the Old Heavenhill Springs by the Shapira brothers and investors, the family still retains ownership today after buying out other parties in 1943. The distillery has gone from strength to strength. By 1955, it had filled its 500,000th barrel and by 2018 had surpassed 8 million. Guided by the presence of a Beam family member as the master distiller, starting with Park Beam in the 1940s and ending with Craig Beam in 2017, who had to care for his father. Heaven Hill has grown in size, influence and reach, adding new facilities and brands to its range such as Henry McKenna while also owning rum, liqueur and vodka brands.

How can I bid on the auctions?
You’ll need an account with us to place bids in any auction. Registration takes 60 seconds and there’s a small £5.00 registration fee, payable by credit or debit card. Once paid, you will be registered and can place bids in the auction immediately. The registration fee helps us ensure you’re a real person and a genuine bidder.
Why does the timer extend on a lot?
In the interest of fairness, any bids placed in the final five minutes of a particular lot will extend the end time of that Lot by 15 minutes. We believe in giving our customers a fair amount of time to increase their bid should they wish. Last second sniping isn’t in the spirit of our auctions and by using this system there is no benefit to doing so.
