Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond, We Were Wrong the Whole Time!?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ต.ค. 2023
- A long time ago in a hut not too far away we originally reviewed Heaven Hill BiB and hated it! We then recently had it in a blight flight and actually really enjoyed it. So, we had to go find a new bottle and give it another chance.

I grabbed a bottle of it instead of more Eagle Rare or Blanton’s from the grocery store’s last allocated shipment. Paid $49, no regrets. It’s absolutely delicious!
I am glad you guys like it. I did the Connoisseur tasting at the Heaven Hill Experience in Bardstown. We were given ECBP C922, EC Toasted, HH BiB, McKenna 10, and Parker Heritage 2018 (Orange Curacao Finish). When trying to pick my favorite - I had to throw out the PH 2018 because it was such a different flavor profile and in the super rare category that I didn't think it fair to include. With the other 4 - HH BiB was my clear favorite and I was very surprised. In Louisville, you can find these for around $55. I will usually buy one so that I always have 3 bottles in the house. One for the bunker, one to drink when I want to, and one to keep around in case a good friend shows up and I want to crack open a good bottle.
Crack open a good bottle with a friend? Why does cracking a new one seem preferable to you both drinking from the "drink when I want to" bottle?
@@BeThr_Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice ...because there may not be much in the open bottle! Always like to have a backup!
There are so many better products for the price range hih is $50 in my area would much rather get rare breed 4 roses single barrel or even michters rye
@@Non-existent1 I agree that Rare Breed is superior, but it is getting expensive. Around here it is $60. HH BiB supply is increasing and you can find it consistently at $45 now.
Lotta ECBP shade in this episode. This was a great year for them. C923 is awesome
They have a bit of nutphobia
Yea, really. Meanwhile on slb ecbp beat out gts...
Waaaaay too much shade. C922, A123 and C923 are bangers. I mean, c'mon, they're pretty damn good.
ECBP is still great even if not one of their top releases. I don't understand the shade. People chase & pay more for lesser bourbons that are much younger. Fine by me. More for me!!
@@sitori2509 Totally agree because even with ECBP going up in price slightly and varying the age statements a bit, 10+ year bourbon for $80 in this day and age is a great value. Even a weaker batch is great for anyone that want to experience older bourbon for what is a reasonable price in today’s market. I just got a Penelope 9 year for $75, similar situation in my mind, but even once Penelope puts out something with an age statement equal to what ECBP is doing, it’s gonna be more expensive
I actually picked up a bottle of this yesterday and my thoughts were exactly the same. I bought a bottle when this bottle first came out and did not like it much, this years bottling is WAY BETTER. I am a fan of Heaven Hill and similar Jim Beam profile so I am very happy that they have made this better.
I really liked this bottle. For me, this was the prototypical classic, awesome bourbon.
I see it right around $49 when I see it these days, and it’s pretty damn great. One of my favorite bottles I have right now, and one of the few that I have a backup bottle for in case I can’t find it for a while
I’d say a war with some other similar aged & priced (MSRP) bottled in bonds would be fun! For example, the new black label Bardstown Origin Series, EH Taylor Small Batch, Ben Holladay’s Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon, and Old Forester 1897 BIB!
I know the boys don't like Dickel but I am loving the Dickel BiB I picked up last month for $55. Toasted pecans on the nose and sweet tarts of the palate, and a 13 year age statement to boot. I would be interested to see them try the Fall 2008 Dickel BiB in a blind.
Did a Heaven Hill themed blind of this with my friends with 2 different McKenna 10 bottles and ECBPA123 and this came out on top for all 4 people
That's because ECBP is awesome.
@@kevinmathis1278 believe he said the HHBIB won there guy.
Great video! Currently having a pour of this right now. Keep it up guys!
I can find this for $45-$60, and like you guys, when I revisited an open bottle, it was brown sugar deliciousness, with a coating finish that ends with a gentle Kentucky hug
I got a bottle Friday and was kinda disappointed because I watched some videos and they said it was crap. Brought it home and it was a good body bourbon. So now I'm glad you liked it because I was wondering if my taster wasn't tasting right. It's not super complex, but drinks really good.
Love that it is all over the shelfs in Michigan now for $49.
Just got a few bottles of this for $39 each at Binny's. I think the regular sticker price at Binny's in Illinois is $49 currently. Crazy how prices can vary.
Yeah it's $60 in AZ and $40 in CA right next door.
Just looked it up. With your Binnys card it's 42.99. Hopefully Woodmans will have this.
They didn't, unfortunately. Depends on which Woodman's
@@robm3063 yea when I said "just got", it was a few weeks ago that it was down to $39. $43 is still a great price
Picked up a bottle at my local binny's here in Illinois for 42.99 and OGD 114 for 25.99... Not bad compared to what I see other people paying in other states. Perhaps we've found the one thing Illinois has yet to screw up
If you want a similar price point - Old Forester 1897.
If you want to match it with a high value option - EW White Label or Early Times BIB.
Thanks for the review!
1897 better 2me
I got two bottles for $40 at Binny's near Chicago. At that price, it's a definite buy.
I am loving this Heaven Hill Bonded! Quickly becoming my go to for a daily pour, as it has flooded the market in Minnesota. 50-55 is the cost. It reminds me of Buffalo Trace, with the Sweetness and caramel, slightly smoother and nutty with big fruit notes on the nose.
Got it on sale in the Chicago metro for $42 today, looking forward to a sip on this below zero night
BiB Whiskey War needs to be revisited, given some of the new BiB products we've got now. McKenna 10 yr, Ben Holladay 6 yr, Heaven Hill 7 yr, Dickel 13 yr, maybe throw in Old Forester 1897 & Early Times for good measure.
I am loving the Dickel 13 yr. Great stuff.
I love this bottle as well and it’s now available in Connecticut
Bought it a couple years ago and I really liked it. I recently purchased another bottle and I also thought it tasted different. I don't have any left of the old bottle to compare to but this one seems less nutty and a little more complex than I remember. I get it for $50 in MO. It's a no-brainer.
Always love a BiB Battle: Heaven Hill, 1792, Jack Daniels, E.H. Taylor, Early Times, McKenna, Eagle Rare, New Riff, Old Forrester, etc.... lots of choices if you want to lean into the BiB Whiskey War.
For sure need a BiB Battle.
16-Bottle BIB Bracket!
A BiB Eagle Rare you say? Sounds extremely rare 🙃.
"It may not be bonded, but that's some good bourbon, Walter." - Donny
Dude your a donkey
Yes I can find it for $50ish here in Florida on grocery liquor store shelves.
Between 46 and 52 here in SE Wisconsin, and it seems that everyone has had their fill of it...sitting on store shelves now....bit agree, great bottle at that price point!
Where did the EC BP hurt you? ...I'm gonna assume you haven't tried C923 yet. BTW, I found A123 to be sharp and B123 to be flat, so I mix them together for a better harmony. Try it. EHT small batch seems like a relevant bottle to compare it too.
Here’s a blind battle for you- a lineup I’d like to see. Heaven Hill bib, JB single barrel, JB 7 Black, EW 1783
Will have to check this out. Waiting for the ECBP C923 Review, hearing people rave about it!
I didn't care for mine when I first cracked it. I let it sit for a couple months and went back to it as a second chance and was surprised how much I liked it the second time around.
$40 in Chicago now. No longer allocated.
Just found mine for $52 and I really liked it.
These were at several Chicagoland Binnys this past week for $44.
$45-$55 in Wisconsin, been very available lately too. Nice bottle for the price.
Passed on ecbp to pick this up as a gift, then saw reviews and chose to crack it as reviews were meh. I love it, have since tracked down replacements to gift and shelf.
Totally agree old version was totally underwhelming. I got mine for $39.99 3yrs ago in Upstate NY.
There's tons of it here in Minnesota, and at my liquor store it's $49.99
It’s $40 out here in SoCal at Total Wine and totally worth it at that price point.
This slayed in a BiB battle for me. Also, becoming readily available around St. Louis for
Just purchased this bottle in pa hours ago. First time seeing this and I’m sipping it as we speak. Paid $49.99, but wish I bought rarebreed for 48 or ecbp toasted for 49
I’m glad you guys have come around on this one, because this is the one take you had that I completely disagreed with.
Picked up at Costco for $45. I’m buying it every time I see it for that price. Exceeded my expectations for sub $50
Michigan is clearly much cheaper than here in Washington... Just picked this up a few weeks back, at Costco! Was 68 bucks out the door!
The place where I go in MD had it for $50. I didn't love my first taste. I'm going to have to pull it out again and give it another try.
Got one of these paired with ECBP C923, overpaid a little bit, but I doubt it will beat C923, as that is my new favorite bourbon. HH goes about 40 in our Costco's and ive been sleeping on them. I should crack my HH up to see if I need some backups
Whiskey War: Heaven Hill BIB , Early Times BIB , Old Forester 1897 BIB , Henry McKenna BIB & EH Taylor Small Batch BIB
Just bought one and it’s absolutely delicious, unbelievable buy for $50 in NC
ha! welcome to the party. been a fav kinda-findable pour for a while. good news is its starting to trickle into stores on the floor...usually only a few cases which go quick-ish but findable!!! woot!!!
BJ, Just purchase my 1st Bottle today. It's 5pm somewhere. What a fantastic sipper. Cherry, Vanilla, Brown Sugar, light Oak... $50 in Ohio. Liquor Store had 15 cases down to 2 today... Enjoy your guys insight on 100s of videos I have watched. Tom - Cincinnati
Picked it up yesterday for $32 in Southern California
These are pretty easy to find here in northern CA ~50. You should whiskey war it with EHT small batch (also pretty easy to snag in Ca), 1792 BIB, Bardstown origin (white label), maybe a knob creek 12
Instead of comparing against others in this price range, try this bottle blind against Fighting Cock. Fighting Cock used to carry a 6 year age statement. I just spent 30 minutes A-B testing the two. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Pears aren’t stone fruits. They have seeds like apples. Plums peaches cherries apricots are stone fruit. Had a sample of this and have a bottle but haven’t opened it yet. Have seen some that don’t like this it happens Fred M didn’t like WLW and just shows how varied our palate is. Nice review. Enjoy!!
I literally was just at HH two days ago and almost picked this bottle up. Thanks for the review and I guess it’s another bottle for the cabinet.
Picked up a bottle at Binnys for $48 after tax, great value! Few months ago, I couldn't find it and the one time I saw it at a Jewel it was $75.
Just saw this tonight at my small town local in Iowa. Been interested. Thanks for the review.
When you guys put this at the bottom of the Heaven Hill tier list a few months ago, I knew you made a mistake. Revisit Bernheim too. Not as disappointing as you think either.
$40 at costco in Southern California, Bevmo when they have it was either $49.99 or $59.99. Great bottle.
first tried it last summer (23). since then. its become my go to, Love it
I grabbed a bottle of the new issue a couple years agp for about $49. It was ok. I finished it but didn't make any effort to replenish. Maybe I'll give it another try.
Spot on. I had this awhile ago and didn't do well in a blind but however, I'm drinking a pour tonight and loving it!
Would be fun to see a whiskey war with any of:
EHT small batch
4 Roses single barrel
Old Forester 1897/1920
Bardstown Origin
John J Bowman
McKenna
Rare Breed or Russell’s SP
Blind challenge: Early times bib, heaven hill bib, Ben Holliday bib, 1792 bib
Whiskey war with EH Taylor small batch, Henry McKenna 10yr bib, Early Times bib (blue top) Bardstown origin bib (black label)
Readily available here in CA for $50, and I agree, it is tasty. Didn't like it from the jump, but it changed my mind once revisited some weeks later.
HH7 isn't allocated now and its like 50 bucks.
Also according to the distillery last week its not on allocation anymore
It's not allocated in IL anymore. HH 7 is everywhere and can find $42 in binny's
I just picked up a bottle for under $40 at Costco and it's freaking fantastic.
Guys...come on...no chance that beats ECBP. Junkies fan for life but some crazy takes in this episode. I have the HHBIB and most of the bottles you mentioned that it beats...taste is subjective but I can't believe what you just said 😂
Would grab a JD barrel or select for 50 bucks before that
So y'all are aware this retails for $41. Which is exactly what I paid at my local liquor store here in New Yawk
I was lucky enough to listen to your review with a glass in my hand. I agree it is REALLY good, 1920 will blow it out of the water, but it is really good.
Henry McKenna BiB, Bardstown BiB, OF 1897, New Riff BiB. Roughly in the same price bracket and most readily available.
Pretty available in OH at around $55 I think. I like it.
I've seen it around.
My brother picked it up for 55 in Michigan (Ann Arbor area)
Picked up 3 bottles at Binnys on sale for 39ea. There is some bottle variation, but all good.
Looked at getting a backup bottle yesterday. ABC in lansing has it for $49
Funny yall get nutty in HH. I get it from Larceny (HH I know) but very subtle in this BIB. To my pallet, Old Granddad BIB is a peanut bomb!
They def dialed this in bcause early reviews were not good. I got a bottle recently and loved it.
Co Costco $42 and it’s a buy for me. I get brownie with all the typical bourbon notes
I get it at $50 in WNY. Its one of my favorites, its just so good.
$50 all day near me. I always grab a bottle when I see it on the shelf
It’s $50 in Atlanta not $70 and available if you look
I think they’re around $40 here in Northern California
It's currently on sale for $43 by me. Put it up against Jack Daniel's Single Barrel, New Riff Bottled in Bond or Old Forester 1897. Thanks as always and keep up the great work. Cheers...
$42 at Binny's this week and tons of cases stacked at the store.
I live in NJ where NOTHING is sold at MSRP, and I've found this recently at $50. Definitely a good pour at that price.
I just bought a bottle of Heaven Hill BiB and some Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C923 so I am happy to see I got a decent unknown for me . I'll taste it in a couple days but for now this E C C923 is 'well now!'
A good comp for Heaven Hill BIB would be Bakers 7 year, both are great and I like your idea of OF 1920 that’s another of my favorites! Cheers
I've been seeing this all over in Grand Rapids recently at 49.99 which I believe is state min in MI
I got a bottle of this for 20$ on a no reserve auction. Best purchase ever.
Got this for $31 today at Costco.. stoked to try it.
McKinna, Blantons, and old forester would be interesting.
It has the quintessential bourbon flavors. Binny’s in IL had this for $39.99 a month ago and I picked up a 2nd backup bottle. 🥃
Our Costco has it for 42. I grabbed one. Need to open it. I also did not like the first batch I tried.
I got this bottle a few weeks back and it was a big hit for anyone coming over.
I just saw one bottle sitting on the shelf in a VA ABC. I left it there. Did I make a mistake?
Picked up a bottle at my local binny's here in Illinois for 42.99 and OGD 114 for 25.99... Not bad compared to what I see other people paying in other states. Perhaps we've found the one thing Illinois has yet to screw up
Finally got it in MA and its only $45 here!
Here is the battle - Heaven Hill, 1792 BIB, Bardstown Origin BIB, Eagle Rare and Old Forester 1897
Found it in MI for 55 and finally released in Nebraska recently for 50.
"It's good now, and how did this $5,000 in cash end up in my pocket ?" 😅
