The release joins the award-winning Heaven Hill portfolio, alongside Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond, the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection and Heaven Hill Grain to Glass, further showcasing the distillery’s commitment to producing exceptional American whiskeys that honor tradition while embracing innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eA first-of-its-kind release, Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Double Mash unites two-thirds traditional Bourbon mashbill (78% corn, 10% rye and 12% malted barley) with one-third Wheated Bourbon mashbill (68% corn, 20% wheat and 12% malted barley), both aged for nine years and bottled at 100 proof in accordance with the strict standards established by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. The result is a layered, balanced Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that showcases the richness and structure of traditional Bourbon alongside the softer, rounded character imparted by wheat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAs the leader in Bottled-in-Bond whiskey, Heaven Hill Distillery developed Double Mash to demonstrate both its deep understanding of Bourbon production and the unique opportunities that exist within the Bottled-in-Bond designation. While Wheated Bourbon has become one of the whiskey world’s most sought-after styles, it is not recognized as a separate legal classification under U.S. whiskey regulations. That distinction allowed Heaven Hill’s whiskey makers to thoughtfully unite traditional and wheated Bottled-in-Bond Bourbons into a single expression, creating a whiskey unlike any other currently on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e“At Heaven Hill, innovation begins with a deep respect for tradition,” said Conor O’Driscoll, Master Distiller at Heaven Hill Distillery. “Double Mash is a reflection of our understanding of both Bourbon making and the Bottled-in-Bond standards that have defined quality American whiskey for more than a century. By bringing together our traditional and Wheated Bourbon mashbills, we’ve created a first-of-its-kind Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that delivers a distinctly different tasting experience while remaining true to the craftsmanship and authenticity that define Heaven Hill.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eA complement to Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon, Double Mash carries a nine-year age statement, allowing additional maturation to enhance its depth and complexity while delivering a uniquely balanced flavor profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eHeaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Double Mash pours a warm amber color with aromas of toasted oak, honey and a hint of white pepper. The palate is bright and rich, offering honey and citrus oil before finishing with rich caramel and baking spices. The result is a Bourbon with exceptional balance, depth and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p2\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eNose: \u003cspan\u003eToasted oak, honey, hint of white pepper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalate: Bright and rich.

It produces and markets Heaven Hill Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey and ten other brands of bourbon, along with a variety of other distilled spirits, brandies, and cordials. Its current distillery facility, called the Heaven Hill Bernheim distillery, is in Louisville, Kentucky. It is the seventh-largest alcohol supplier in the United States, the second-largest holder of bourbon whiskey inventory in the world, and the largest independent family-owned and -operated producer and marketer of distilled spirits in the United States. It is also the only remaining large family-owned distillery company headquartered in Kentucky, with Brown-Forman Corporation publicly traded and family-owned Sazerac Company headquartered in Louisiana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeaven Hill was founded by several investors shortly after the repeal of Prohibition in 1935, including a prominent distiller, Joseph L. Beam, and a member of the Shapira family. As the company developed, the five brothers of the Shapira family bought out the other investors. Joe Beam remained as Master Distiller, along with his youngest son, Harry. Descendants of the Shapira brothers own and operate the company today. All of the Master Distillers at Heaven Hill since its founding have been members of the Beam family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Master Distiller was Joseph L. Beam, Jim Beam's first cousin. He was followed by his son, Harry, who was followed by Earl Beam, the son of Jim Beam's brother, Park. Earl Beam was succeeded by the current Master Distillers, Parker Beam and his son, Craig Beam. The original name was \"Old Heavenhill Springs\" distillery. The company was founded as a bourbon distillery, with a model focused on providing bulk whiskey for third parties on a basis of futures (a buyer would purchase fresh whiskey, to be held in Heaven Hill's warehouses until the buyer paid the government tax to have it released). It also focused on its flagship bourbon labels, Evan Williams and Elijah Craig. In the past two decades the company has expanded its portfolio, acquiring brands or obtaining import rights for gins, malt whiskey, vodkas, and other drinks. On November 7, 1996, Heaven Hill's production plant (registered plant DSP-KY-31) was almost completely destroyed by fire. The fire started in an aging warehouse and spread to other buildings and vehicles. 90,000 barrels (approximately 7.7 million gallons) of flammable bourbon were consumed. A \"river of fire\" flowed from the warehouses. From one account of the fire: \"Flames leapt hundreds of feet into the air and lit the sky throughout the night. Witnesses reported seeing whiskey barrels explode and rocket across the sky like shooting stars ... a two-mile long stretch of the creek that supplied process water to the distillery was set ablaze for a brief time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company survived the next several years through the provision of production capacity by its fellow local bourbon labels, Brown–Forman and Jim Beam, until its purchase and adaptation of the Bernheim distillery in Louisville (registered plant DSP-KY-1) from Diageo in 1999. While fermenting, mashing, and distilling occurs at the new distillery, aging, bottling, and shipping still occur in Bardstown. With the 2003 acquisition of distribution rights to Hpnotiq, Heaven Hill greatly expanded their product base beyond bourbon. Hpnotiq is now the fourth-highest-selling imported liqueur in the US. While bourbon is still its main focus, Heaven Hill now distributes a wide variety of different products. The Heaven Hill company strongly emphasizes the history and traditions of bourbon in its public relations, highlighting the company's location in the historical home of bourbon-making and its status as the only such company still under local ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2004, the Heaven Hill Distilleries Bourbon Heritage Center was opened on the old distillery grounds, providing historical exhibits and guided tours of the plant. The company also hosts the annual Kentucky Bourbon Festival, and several of the company's brands are named after famous local distillers. Since 2010, Heaven Hill has invested more than $100m in distillery expansions, warehouse construction, and bourbon tourism. In November 2018, Heaven Hill announced a $65m multi-year investment into expanding operations, which includes a renovation of the Bourbon Heritage Center. In September 2021, about 420 workers, all members of the United Food and Commercial Workers union, went on strike due to disagreements over the terms of a new labour contract. In February 2022, Heaven Hill acquired Samson \u0026amp; Surrey, the owner of Widow Jane and Few. In 2023, Heaven Hill Brands settled a legal dispute with Log Still Distillery over Log Still's use of the \"J.W. Dant\" name. Heaven Hill had originally purchased the trademark in 1993, and had sued Log Still for trademark infringement in 2021, after the distillery claimed on its website that it was \"reviving the Dant legacy\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e50% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e75cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heaven Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54996042350930,"sku":"HHIL9BIB2026","price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/HeavenHill9YearOldBottledinBondDoubleMashWheatedKentuckyStraightBourbonWhiskey_2026_75cl.jpg?v=1791498409","url":"https:\/\/whiskysituation.co.uk\/products\/heaven-hill-9-year-old-bottled-in-bond-double-mash-wheated-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-2026-75cl","provider":"Whisky Situation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
