Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll emphasized the unique nature of this release. “This 19-year-old Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey is especially unique, as a product with this mashbill at this age offers an exceptional depth and complexity that is rarely seen.”
Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 19 Year Old Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey
The release showcases Heaven Hill’s wheat whiskey mashbill, consisting of 51% wheat, 37% corn, and 12% malted barley. These barrels were aged on the fifth and sixth floors of rickhouse Y, contributing to their distinctive flavor profile.
The whiskey presents a subtle nose of seasoned oak and honey sweetness, complemented by clove and nutmeg notes. On the palate, aged oak and baking spices lead into rich notes of cinnamon graham crackers, finishing with maple syrup and caramel sweetness. The high percentage of wheat in the mash bill makes for a gentle and balanced drinking experience.
Speaking about the Heritage Collection 19 Year Old, O’Driscoll continued: “It truly represents the high standard that Heaven Hill is known for and is a great example of how craftsmanship and patience can pay off when you’re willing to wait for the highest-quality product to come from the Whiskey-making process.”
Premium Packaging and Availability
Each 750ml bottle comes housed in Heaven Hill’s signature blue box, featuring a prominent display of the distillery seal. The packaging includes detailed information about warehouse location, production dates, and mashbill percentages.

This release represents another chapter in Heaven Hill’s legacy of excellence in American whiskey production, dating back to 1935. As one of the few heritage distilleries producing six traditional American whiskey mashbills, Heaven Hill continues to demonstrate its versatility in whiskey crafting.
