Why Gifted Pour recommends it
A wheated bourbon with seven years behind it and a 100-proof backbone, this suits the person who loves tradition but prefers a gentler, sweeter style of bourbon. Distilled and aged entirely at Heaven Hill in Kentucky under the standards of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, it carries a heritage dating back to 1870 and a past as the pour of choice on steamships and in exclusive clubs. That story makes it a considered gift for a milestone birthday, a promotion, or a mentor who enjoys good provenance. In the glass, graham cracker and golden honey lead into citrus zest, ripe peach and apple skin. The wheat shows on a rich, viscous palate of fresh-baked bread and brown sugar, warmed by cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, before a long finish of lingering sweetness and seasoned oak. The recipient can savor it neat, add a splash of water to open the fruit and spice, or stir it into an Old Fashioned or Gold Rush. It is bold for a seasoned bourbon drinker, yet approachable for someone still exploring.
