So there’s a troll on here just commenting on everything and hating on this bottle. Probably got fired from HH or something….. First off… I work for the largest liquor store chain in Texas and we sell a ton of this stuff and not 1 person I know of has hated this bottle. Most of us keep 1 open and 1 in the hole at all times in case it drys up around here. Right now we’re flush with this product and it’s awesome. Secondly; this is an excellent bottle. Very oak forward with a lot of tasting notes. Obviously we all have different tastes and those that lean towards the sweeter, wheated mashbills may not rank it as highly as a good larceny or MM but if you’re open to all different types and prefer an oak forward bourbon then this is in your wheelhouse. For me, I wouldn’t pay more than 60-65 for this bottle but do find it’s very good. Cheers everybody ! 🥃 Lastly; I’ve read comments about it being pricey and that may be depending on where you’re living. I can only tell you about where I’m at. In Texas, this bottle is under $50 retail which equates to about $7 per year of aging. Not many bottles add up like that. Russels 10 being the phenomenal exception at around $3 per year. Personally I have a rule for myself; I pay no more than $10 per year of aging and stick to it. Very few bottles are even in that category around here.
I haven't even tried this bottle yet, but I agree with you, it's like all these haters are against capitalism. If I had a business selling a product where there is a high demand and people are willing to pay for it, it's a 'no-brainer'. I hate hypocrites.
Got one at Costco couple months ago and broke it out, as I’m watching this I tasted it and their dead on with the nodes and it’s smoother than woodford double oak which is my go too so I hope the stores still have some cause I’m buying a couple to sit on 😂
Very informative! Love these little factoid videos that I can refer back to as needed. Didn't know much about Heaven Hill BiB prior to this, haven't had a bottle yet. Cheers Chad and Sara!
Love you guys Chad, Sara but, I 👍 Agree with the commenter that channel is great and informative and-- pretty funny stuff, for example "exceptional 👄 mouth feel🤣🤣🤪" not so much on the commercial side of things, after all, the Distillerys don't need more ads--😮🤔
I have to agree this is a Heaven Hill commercial but I'm totally ok with that. I would suggest that you do more of these and for other distilleries too.
Finally available in NC. After several sessions with this bourbon, I find that it hits my palate perfectly, particularly the deep caramel flavors. Thanks for the informative video.
Great Episode! Such a great bottle! One of my favs! Looking forward to seeing Bernie Lubbers at HHL&B in a couple weeks... Looking forward to seeing you both next month! Cheers!
I love all heaven and hill even their BB mellow corn which is a whiskey but it has real good flavor and mellow high but low cost of less than 20$ a bottle
This is very hard to come by in Virginia where I live. Only by an allocation drop at one of the State ABC stores or a drop at one of the military exchanges, and they go quickly. I've been lucky to get one at the Coast Guard Exchange in Chesapeake and another via ABC...$49 bucks. However, I was on a visit to San Diego, and found one in Costco of all places for $34 bucks....needless to say I snatched it up and brought it home
$4.55 in 1939, that seems crazy high to me. Coming out of the depression era only the wealthy people could afford spending that much. I would be interested in a listing of the other distiller's offerings prices of the time.
What I found most interesting was the old advertisement for Old Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond that looks like it was printed in the 1930s showing the price of a fifth (approx. 750 ml) as $4.55. If that was the case in, say, 1940, $4.55 would be the equivalent of $97 in 2023! Hardly 'moderately priced' as claimed in the ad...
Great video and informative! I’ve been to Heaven Hills a number of times with my wife. Best gift shop around! Not been able to snag anything rare when we’ve been there but maybe in time! Thanks for sharing this information! Warm regards,
I absolutely cannot wait to spend 5X the price for an additional year of aging and an updated bottle design for one of the best $10 bourbons I ever had the luxury of enjoying.
How much did HH pay you guys to make this video? 🤦♂️ It’s an ok bourbon, not great, and overpriced at $50 at my local TW. Yes, let’s age the bourbon one more year and charge 4x the price of the previous release. Gotta pay for that new distillery somehow! This is *almost* as bad as Fred Minnick selling out to TW last year. Not quite, but close.
Here is one thing I found with HH BiB 7 year. As soon as it got off allocation and became super readily available it just sits on the shelves. Now the Bourbon lovers in my area just leave them on the shelf close to the New Riff and Smoke Wagon bottles. Once it isn’t hard to find anymore they don’t want it.
I find it really interesting that you guys didn’t bring up that it was aged an extra year for almost three times the price. It’s a horrible $40-$50 whiskey. I dumped mine down the drain.
You guys did a nice commercial for Heaven Hill.
Aww man. A Heaven Hill commercial. I appreciate monetizing your TH-cam channel while you can…but I can’t help but be disappointed. Cheers.
Thank you! Smh

I have 2 bottles of HH BIB, and opened one of them last night. Pretty tasty. Love the history lesson.
Excellent pour.

Did feel a bit "Comercial-y" but overall, these informational series are nice to get the background on these bourbons. Keep 'em coming!

Lots of people don’t like this bottle. So funny how taste buds differ. I love this juice.
I bought this bottle tonight. Saw a bunch of videos bashing on it, but I tried it and love it already.
Finally available in NC. After several sessions with this bourbon, I find that it hits my palate perfectly, particularly the deep caramel flavors. Thanks for the informative video.
First pour. It's decent but I can think of alot of other bottles that taste alot better in the under $50 bracket.
Agree 1000%. I was underwhelmed. Would prefer a Rarebreed pour over this.
Having never had the Kentucky exclusive version of HH BiB, I absolutely love the current 7 year expression
This is some of the best...
Great Episode! Such a great bottle! One of my favs! Looking forward to seeing Bernie Lubbers at HHL&B in a couple weeks... Looking forward to seeing you both next month! Cheers!
Great video! Love the history & bootle label information....keep em' coming!
My most interesting fact? the the BIB may be available in 2024 nationally. Come on HH!!!!
I love all heaven and hill even their BB mellow corn which is a whiskey but it has real good flavor and mellow high but low cost of less than 20$ a bottle
CONGRATULATIONS CHAD!!!!
Thank you!
Cheers! This is an awesome bottle

Just picked one up at Costco in MI for 50. Can’t complain too much at that price. Anytime they say 1 per customer it’s normally a good price
Damn yeah that's a great price. I just picked one up at $48.99

I was really excited to find this thing in the shelf. Really disappointed in the whiskey though
I bought a bottle not that long ago, and it was good tasted like chocolate bites etc

I am Heaven Hill Distillery, and I approve this message
But is it worth buying at $50?
No no and did I say no
Yup. Absolutely. $7 per year of aging. That’s fantastic
Great video. Thanks for sharing facts and history of Heaven Hill. I always enjoy content like this.
Don't waste your time on this video it is just an ad for HH FFS
Incredible info, thanks!
Great video and informative! I’ve been to Heaven Hills a number of times with my wife. Best gift shop around! Not been able to snag anything rare when we’ve been there but maybe in time! Thanks for sharing this information!
Warm regards,
My favorite part of the video was Chad wearing a fake beard to look like an old-timey prospector reading a paper on March 3, 1897. 😁👍
And FF to today and I saw it at Costco for 41.00!
Thank you both for the video 🥃
Great little recap video!
It's 59.99 here in Chicago without tax now 😞☹️
Scored my bottle in S Carolina last week $69...
I absolutely cannot wait to spend 5X the price for an additional year of aging and an updated bottle design for one of the best $10 bourbons I ever had the luxury of enjoying.
🎉
Sarah is lovely
I've heard mixed reviews about it. But everyone agrees that it's overpriced
It’s under $50 for a 7 year BIB. That’s less than $10 per year of aging.
Apparently some people like y'all only as long as you like what they like. 😂
I do not drink bourbon but promote this every day, selling out all the time, can I have a commission please? Lol
Hahaha you’ll have to ask Heaven Hill! We don’t get a commission either.
I think we should!:)
WHISKEY CHEERS 😎
I had the pleasure of enjoying this one from the original distillery! I was drinking that between 1985 and 1995. I haven't tried it since...
How much did HH pay you guys to make this video? 🤦♂️
It’s an ok bourbon, not great, and overpriced at $50 at my local TW. Yes, let’s age the bourbon one more year and charge 4x the price of the previous release. Gotta pay for that new distillery somehow!
This is *almost* as bad as Fred Minnick selling out to TW last year. Not quite, but close.
😊💖🐶🐶
Sponcon, huh?
The only thing I really know about Heaven Hill bottled in bond is that I can’t find any
Knob 9 year much better and less $$$$
Thanks for showing a new bourbon to enjoy. The search gives me a reason to search good liquor stores.
Ezra brooks 99 is almost identical and cheaper
Please Review glenmorangie 10
Here is one thing I found with HH BiB 7 year. As soon as it got off allocation and became super readily available it just sits on the shelves.

You 2 have shot alot of credibility with this nonsense
Reinvigorate = repackaged and tripled in price haha
Wait Bond doesn't mean James Bond personally picked it......weak
I'll tell you something I didn't know about it before I bought 2 bottles. It's not good.
Bwahahah.
Hahaha that is amazing and accurate
For sure. I’m disappointed with my purchase
Maybe y’all got some bad batches or something because everyone I know has absolutely loved it and we move a ton of it at the store I work at
It was good at 6 years for $15
I find it really interesting that you guys didn’t bring up that it was aged an extra year for almost three times the price. It’s a horrible $40-$50 whiskey. I dumped mine down the drain.
This format feels like an AD. Sorry. Love the bourbon and heaven hill, but a little to much cheerleading here
It is an ad. Says so in their description
