Bourbon Hill 15 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Bourbon Hill 15 Year is a hard-to-find Kentucky straight bourbon made almost entirely for the Japanese market and rarely seen in the US. The label says it was bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky, and that the whiskey was charcoal filtered. Collectors think it was made by Heaven Hill, partly because of the Bardstown address and the 'Hill' name. It carries a 15-year age statement and is bottled at 101 proof, so it's a rare chance to try older Bardstown bourbon from a label that was never sold widely in the US. Tasting Notes • Nose: Caramel, toffee, vanilla and cherry over dry oak, with dried apple and baking spice. • Palate: Toasted caramel, butterscotch and vanilla with cherry, orange peel, cinnamon and a hint of licorice. • Finish: Caramel and orange fading into roasted oak and a little dark chocolate. Product Details • Distillery: Bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky (believed to be Heaven Hill) • Style: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey • Age: 15 years • Proof / ABV: 101 proof (50.5% ABV) • Availability: Japan-market export, no longer produced Why It Stands Out This bottle was made for export and very few ever came back to the US, so it rarely shows up here. A 15-year age statement at 101 proof is hard to find on any Bardstown bourbon today. Serving Suggestions Try it neat to taste how the oak and caramel have developed over 15 years, then add a splash of water to bring out the fruit.
