Previous Heritage Collection releases have included the 17-year, 21-year, and 22-year at different proof points across the program’s history. The 2026 release at 22 years continues this tradition of presenting the deepest available aged Heaven Hill bourbon in extremely limited quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 22 years, the Heritage Collection draws on spirit distilled approximately 2003–2004 — the post-fire rebuild era of Heaven Hill production following the catastrophic 1996 fire that destroyed the original distillery and over 90,000 barrels of aging bourbon. The 22-year Heritage Collection expressions are among the first post-rebuild era Heaven Hill bourbons to reach full ultra-aged maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heaven Hill, Bardstown, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026 — Heritage Collection annual\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the significance of post-fire Heaven Hill aged stock?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 1996 fire destroyed the original Heaven Hill distillery and over 90,000 barrels.
