Evan Williams 6 Year Old Green Label Bourbon 1970s / Heaven Hill

Heaven Hill was the first distillery that I recognized as being a great distillery just based on the bottles that I was able to pick up locally. Elijah Craig, Evan Williams, and Henry McKenna were among the first bottles I discovered when I began this whiskey journey. Heaven Hill whiskies will always have a place on my shelf.

But until recently I had not had the chance to try one of their signature bottlings, the six year old Heaven Hill Old Style Bourbon. This expression is available only in Kentucky. Fortunately I found myself in Kentucky at the end of June and managed to pick up a bottle. I should have bought all I they had.

This review is the Heaven Hill 6 yr green label. There was a BiB version of this 6 yr old that has been discontinued. There is also a NAS green label that is available outside of Kentucky. The NAS version was awful. But this stuff is amazing.

This whiskey is bottled at 45% ABV and uses Heaven Hill’s standard mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% barley. It’s a medium/dark amber color and has sparse skinny legs in the Glencairn.

The nose is spicy Oak char with cinnamon and hints of vanilla and caramel. Much less sweet than most bourbons. No alcohol burn to speak of. In the mouth it’s dry, oaky, and spicy with hints of nuts and vanilla. Again, very dry and spicy. I’d swear this was a high rye bourbon if I didn’t know any different. The finish is decently long, warm and spicy with more Oak char and pepper.
