Is Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 19 Year a bourbon?
No. It is a straight wheat whiskey, meaning wheat is the dominant grain in the mashbill rather than corn.
What does barrel proof mean?
Barrel proof whiskey is bottled at the same strength it was aged in the barrel, without dilution, offering a more intense and authentic flavor profile.
Is this a limited release?
Yes. The Heaven Hill Heritage Collection series is produced in limited quantities, making each release highly collectible.
What makes a wheat whiskey different from bourbon?
A wheat whiskey uses at least 51% wheat in its mashbill, creating a softer, smoother grain character compared to traditional corn-forward bourbons.
