Small batch. William Heavenhill — Heaven Hill's prestige aged expression honoring the Heavenhill family patriarch, at 16 years of Kentucky straight bourbon maturation. Between the 14-year and 17-year expressions in Heaven Hill's William Heavenhill range.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe William Heavenhill name corrects a piece of history: the land where Heaven Hill's original distillery was built belonged to the Heavenhill family, and a clerical transcription error separated their surname into two words — \"Heaven Hill\" — that became the permanent brand name. William Heavenhill honors the family patriarch, connecting the distillery's name to its founding land and the family whose property made it possible.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAt 16 years, the William Heavenhill Small Batch sits in the upper tier of Heaven Hill's age-statement bourbon program — above the 14-year and below the 17-year in the William Heavenhill range. Heaven Hill's high-rye mashbill at 16 years produces deep oak integration, dried fruit concentration, leather complexity, and the warm spice that the high-rye grain character contributes even at extended age.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep amber from 16 years of Heaven Hill barrel aging.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, dried fruit, warm oak, and the complexity of the high-rye mashbill at 16-year maturity.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and layered — deep oak, dried fruit, leather, and warm spice in a refined, fully developed expression.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warm — the 16-year character through a sustained, satisfying close.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heaven Hill Bernheim Distillery, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Small Batch\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 years\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNamed for:\u003c\/strong\u003e William Heavenhill (founding family patriarch)\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\u003eHow does the 16 Year compare to the 14 Year and 17 Year William Heavenhill?\u003c\/strong\u003e All three are Heaven Hill's high-rye mashbill small batch expressions from the William Heavenhill program.
