SOUTHERN / AMERICAN / PACIFIC WINE & SPIRITS® Rabbit Hole – 6045205561503

Notes from the Distillery:
Heigold is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey made with a high percentage of rye. While great neat or on the rocks, a high proof of 95 allows Heigold’s bold flavors to shine in any cocktail.

The uniqueness of this Bourbon starts with mash consisting of corn, malted German rye, and malted barley. Once distilled, we proof the new make down to 110 before barreling. This produces a rich, decadent bourbon void of harsh flavors or burn. We mature the distillate for 3 years in toasted and charred American White Oak barrels crafted by Kelvin Cooperage. The process of toasting before charring is a modern approach to barrel making, allowing deeper whiskey absorption into the barrel which gives this bourbon its deep flavor and caramel color.

Tasting Notes: 

It lures you in with a beautiful aroma of toasted malt and warm baking spices. On the pallet, Heigold opens with silky butterscotch and hints of bright citrus finishing with a thrilling crescendo of pepper spice.

To be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail.

92 Points – Whisky Advocate

“Aromas of root beer, cooked cherries, candied orange, licorice, cloves, iced tea, spearmint, marshmallow Peeps, and a hint of varnish. The palate is chewy and full, with flavors tumbling over each other in a rush: orange, cinnamon, clove, licorice, horehound, oak, almonds, vanilla cream, and a bit of herbaceousness. It finishes dry, with bright fruit, cedary oak, cinnamon, and almonds.”
