Hey Jason, thanks for the Heads up on the discontinued Heaven Hill. I have a cool little family owned store in my area. Had 8 bottles on the shelf. owner was happy to let me take them off their hands for $11.00 per bottle. Have 8 added to my collection! Cheers!

It is my new favorite! It’s so damn smooth

7 years BIB Great daily sipper. Outstanding smooth finish. I love this product.

All I can say is I got the new HH yesterday & omg I love it upstate NY paid $48.00 👍🏻

Awesome review. Really glad you brought the Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond into the mix, especially since it seemed to fair so well. You'll never find me without it, that's what I keep in the decanter on my coffee table for daily sippin'.

Indeed. It's a very good bourbon. I enjoy it more than some bottles 2-3x the price.

The EW BiB is a great daily sipper. Not complex, yet tasty and an easy dram. Cheers!

Love the review. My latest bottle was extremely smooth for 100 proof and a nice citrus on the back end.

Look forward to picking it up eventually!

Great review, Jason- it seems very objective and true without bashing or overtly praising anything. Since I'm not in one of the preliminary states to get it anyways, that makes my choice easy in the next $40+ bottle I get and I might go for one of the ones you mentioned in that range. Thanks for the great content and have a great Monday!

I agree with the pallet all the way! Definitely sweet with the oaky start to finish, although i didnt taste the zest but everything else was on point! Great video bro

Nice scoop! First with the 7 year BIB reviews. Waiting for NYC stores to stock it.

Great points on the price. Keep doing what you are doing.

Jason, great detailed review and comparison. They should have priced this around $30 and still would have been a doubling of the previous BiB. Like you said it will now have to compete with some stellar bourbons at that $40 to 45 range. I'll stick with the 4R and KC SiB choices and not feel like I'm getting screwed royally. Cheers!!

Thanks Hector. Appreciate it. It's not a bad BOURBON by any means. It's just not worth the price hike from the old one.

Great review and comparison. I picked up the 7 year BiB last week and to me it is Henry McKenna lite. Same flavors just not as rich and/or deep. Frankly, I would get the McKenna since it is the same price. Only problem is that it is very hard to find. Cheers!

Hey Maveric! Great review as always, it was interesting as it really sounded like a strong description of Henry McKenna when you were talking about the new HH. Oak forward with some sweet lingering spice. I'll have to getc a bottle as I too am super interested to taste it next to that bunch including the McKenna, cheers buddy!

Thanks for comparing the Evan Williams with the Heaven Hill. It helps a lot because I bought the Evan William's BIB and was not a fan of the flavor profile. It reminded me a lot of the basic Heaven Hill White Label Bourbon. Now I won't lose any sleep over not having a "new" Heaven Hill BIB. The Mash and Drum saved me a few bucks!

Great Video. Here in VA it is 50$ if your lucky enough to get one on a drop at the local ABC ... it is good, but a bit over priced... more due to its rarity than its quality.

I agree with these comparisons! EW BiB is pretty close to the Heaven Hill 7 year. I paid 55 in California last week. Oh well still a nice pour 😃

Thanks for putting this out there and I appreciate the review. I may get a bottle if it is at MSRP but tbh I've almost got one foot out the door with Heaven Hill and their BiB bottlings. My last 2 McKenna 10 year BiB were meh and pricing by me is heading towards $45 per bottle at the stores who do have it. The last white label Evan Williams BiB I had was meh but at least it was under $20. This HH BiB 7 year might hit the $50 price point but who knows.

@TheMashandDrum

I think it might go higher as well but we will see. McKenna is moving to a small batch eventually to avoid meh bottles. Yeah the EW BiB is a great alternative. Cheers.

Easy to keep up with the stock for a 6yo bourbon that was only sold in Kentucky for $12. Doing it nationally at the same price, not so much. I live on the west coast and never make to Kentucky for anything so I would never get to try any. Now I can. I don't see it as price gouging. I see it as a smart business decision.

Great video, Jason. Agree totally about that price point. Similar thing happening with McKenna 10 as some retailers have begun to mark it up. I will probably still grab a bottle of this HH7 at some point just to try.

When you do comparisons… Using the term “this one“ is really difficult to listen to. “On this one, I get more than on this one, but on this one, I get less than this one, etc.“ no clue which one “this one“ is when listening. Love your reviews, request, when doing comparisons please say, “the seven-year-old... The six-year-old… Evan Williams is…“. Keep up the excellent work! Cheers!

Hi there, I've been watching your videos for a bit now but just came across this review of the new Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond. Your description of it being rather spice and cinnamon forward makes me curious if you woud do an A/B comparison of this and Old Grand Dad Bottled in Bond. Looking at both mash bills you'd expected the OGD to be very spice forward, but not the Heaven Hill. I'd be curious to hear your comparison, especially at the large price difference between the two. Thx.

Another good one. I've got one last HH BiB bottle that I'm almost afraid to open. Almost. Maybe I need to do a BiB shootout, or a tasting of discontinued bottlings? For science...

Hey Jason: I hear you about the $25 price difference between the 6 year and the 7 yr. BIB. It was $60 in my neighborhood store here in Brooklyn, of course this is New York City pricing. Here are my impressions: SLÁINTE Mike HEAVEN HILL 7 Year old Bottled in Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 5/3/20 First Pour from the Bottle. Left the Bourbon sit in the glass for 30 minutes to open. Mash Bill: 78% corn, 12% malted barley, 10% rye COLOR: Mahogany with a nice ring and legs that run modestly NOSE: Boozy Corn; transitioning to a dusty corn. PALATE: Sweet arrival with a dry corn note and overall drying sense yet a rich mouth feel that gets silky as I swirl it around with hints of cream corn. FINISH Spicy and Very Drying. There is a sandpaper dryness which creates a mouthwatering sense. The boozy corn note returns in the end with a bit of granulated sugar. With 1 drop of spring water NOSE: Light sweet candy mixed with spice PALATE: A mix of sweet and spice. The mouthfeel remains rich there is a bit of an alcohol burn which dissipates as I swirl. The swirling creates a dry sense almost powdery. FINISH: Sweet turning to a spicy dryness which feels as if the whisky has evaporated; but then there is a mouthwatering sense. With 2 drops of spring water NOSE: a light wood char note with a sweet note that I can not place also there. PALATE: Light sweet candy arrival mixing with spice; a light alcohol burn; then a drying sense with light spiciness. FINISH: Very Dry and mouthwatering with a light spicy tingle on the tip of my tongue. Again the evaporating sense with a granulated sugar note on my tongue This was a very enjoyable glass. I loved cream corn growing up and I love when I get a cream corn note in a bourbon. It is a combination of corn sweetness with the rich creamy mouthfeel. I also like how notes reappeared in different stages; for example the boozy corn note in the Nose Neat reappearing in the Finish. I also enjoyed the evaporating sense. I have never gotten that in a whiskey before. I need to do a Head to Head of this and EVAN WILLIAMS Bottled-in-Bond taste and enjoy the differences. Highly Recommended!!
