About the product
Commemorate three decades of resilience with Heaven Hill Phoenix, a limited one-time release celebrating the 30th anniversary of the 1996 fire at Old Heaven Hill Springs Distillery. This exceptional 18-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon is blended with rare 30-year-old whiskey distilled at the original Bardstown facility before the fire, creating a tangible link to Heaven Hill’s history of determination and rebirth.
The base whiskey, produced in March 2008, was fully matured in heavy-char barrels. It is carefully mingled with the older pre-fire component and bottled at 107 proof. The result balances mature oak depth with structured complexity.
The nose opens with polished oak, cinnamon, nutmeg and caramel. On the palate it offers rich butterscotch, caramel, cinnamon and baked apples, balanced by subtle oak tannins. The finish is warm and long, with notes of sweet apple pie and a touch of peppery spice.
Presented in a special-edition gift carton featuring a phoenix rising from the ashes and the words “Remember. Rebuild. Rise.,” this collectible 750ml bottle is both a tribute to Heaven Hill’s enduring spirit and a refined ultra-aged bourbon for connoisseurs. Ideal for collectors, special occasions and those seeking a meaningful expression of Kentucky heritage.
