Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond pays tribute to the distillery's original 1939 namesake release — a bourbon that quickly became the number one selling bourbon in the state of Kentucky. Produced at the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville and bottled in Bardstown by the same founding family that has owned Heaven Hill since 1935, this expression meets the exacting standards of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897: single distillery, single season, aged a minimum of four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at 100 proof. The 7 Year ages three years beyond that minimum, with a mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley. Ranked #4 on Whisky Advocate's Top 20 Whiskies of 2019. Double Gold at the 2024 International Spirits Challenge.

FAQ
What does Bottled-in-Bond mean?
The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 was America's first consumer protection law for spirits. It requires the bourbon to be the product of a single distillery, distilled in a single season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof — a government-backed guarantee of authenticity and quality.
