Henry McKenna Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Henry McKenna Single Barrel is the only extra-aged Bottled-in-Bond Single Barrel Bourbon in the world, indicating it meets exacting U.S. government standards for age and proof. Every bottle is filled entirely from a single barrel that has aged through 40 Kentucky seasons (10 years). But more important, its taste earns high accolades from connoisseurs themselves. The Spirit Journal writes, "It's on the palate that this Bourbon struts its best stuff. Flavors of charred oak, sweet corn, and spice nicely offset the spirity foundation."

Bourbon Tasting Notes and Reviews
"Nose: There is a peppery pinch to the spicy nose, which fits perfectly with the dark brooding nature of the beast. The slightly singed toast acts as a perfect counter to the mint and orange rind. Really complex and tempting. Taste: Wow! Loads of everything. As you might expect from the nose. A deep, satin-smooth oak and burnt sugar backdrop allows the malt and rye to have a big say. Lots of vanilla, too. Finish: Here, as it dries, the corn comes into dominance. Some vanilla toffee, too. Comments: Magnificent stuff from Heaven Hill that really is worth hunting for."

Classic Bourbon, Tennessee & Rye Whiskey
"A good, traditional bourbon nose with a nice balance of vanilla, caramel, oak, and a light herbaceous note in the background; the body is medium, leaning toward full, and the palate shows a good balance of sharp spices, honey and sweetness, and a touch of mint; the finish is very spicy. Overall: If you like your whiskey spicy, this one's for you. Drink it on the rocks."

"Aromas of charcoal and sweet citrus. Good depth richness with caramel and charcoal flavors; sweet and spicy finish."
