For Mastery, Lead Whisky Maker Euan Kennedy and the Whisky Mastery Team went through the warehouses to bring 14 cask types into one vatting: sherry-seasoned European oak, sherry-seasoned American oak, ex-bourbon American oak and refill casks, differing in seasoning, oak origin and cask size.

This one has an extra claim: at nineteen years it is the oldest the series has produced, and at 138.2 proof the second-strongest, so it sits at two extremes of the line's history at once. Its $300 suggested retail is largely theoretical given the allocation, and secondary demand reflects that. Two things worth knowing before you pay a premium: the age and edition number are printed on the bottle and are the reliable identifiers, and the reason this whiskey stands out is the barrels and their years, not a special recipe — it runs Heaven Hill's everyday bourbon mash bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003c!-- RECOMMENDED SERVING --\u003e\n \u003ch2 class=\"mw-h3\"\u003eRecommended Serving\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eNeat, in a Glencairn, with time to open. Reviewers who tasted this found it drinking well below its 138.2 proof, so meet it neat first before reaching for water — the strength arrives as weight and sweetness rather than heat, and a splash is worth experimenting with but rarely necessary. Nineteen years of oak needs a few minutes of air to layer in fully; give it that, and the chocolate-and-dark-fruit character has room to move before the tannins settle in. This is a slow, considered pour, not a bottle to rush or to drown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003c!-- ACCORDION DEEP-DIVES --\u003e\n \u003cdetails\u003e\n \u003csummary\u003eProduction Methodology\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeaven Hill distilled this from its standard bourbon mash bill — 78% corn, 10% rye and 12% malted barley — the recipe behind much of the distillery's bourbon lineup, then set it aside to age far longer than most. The twelfth-edition whiskey was drawn from thirty barrels that matured across the upper floors of two separate warehouses: the 4th and 5th floors of Rickhouse A on the Glencoe campus, and the 5th and 7th floors of Rickhouse O at Heaven Hill's main aging site. Upper-floor maturation runs hotter and pulls harder from the wood, which over nineteen years builds the deep oak and concentration this release is known for. It was bottled uncut at its natural barrel strength of 138.2 proof and left non-chill filtered, so nothing was stripped between the barrel and the bottle. The William Heavenhill series has carried Small Batch, Bottled-in-Bond, Barrel Proof and Single Barrel designations across its editions since 2008; this one is a barrel-proof small selection, and the oldest the series has released.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails\u003e\n \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through Midnight Whiskey is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.

The whisky is bottled at 47.2% ABV and presented at its natural colour, named “Parisian Sunrise.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails\u003e\n \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/authentication-standards\" class=\"mw-accent\"\u003eMidnight Whiskey\u003c\/a\u003e is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.

Dalgarno drew Edition No. 1 from eight cask styles — European and American oak in butts, hogsheads and puncheons, sherry-seasoned in the house style — which remains the widest recipe of the six releases. The whisky carries no age statement because age is not the claim; the claim is the specific combination of oak, printed on the pack, and the natural colour it produced.

What the set states at its own level is the nature of the pairing. Old Forester announced the 2026 President’s Choice bourbon and rye together, in one release, on one date, with a shared suggested retail price, marking the second consecutive year the label carried both. Barrels for both were selected in-house by the same team, and each expression is bottled from a single cask at that cask’s own strength. The label itself dates to 1964, when Old Forester’s president offered private single barrels and a purchase meant the whole barrel; the modern form relaunched in 2018 and went national in 2025, the year the rye arrived. Old Forester did not issue a two-bottle pack, so the assembly and the single SKU on this page are Midnight Whiskey’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails\u003e\n \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/midnightwhiskey.com\/pages\/authentication-standards\" class=\"mw-accent\"\u003eMidnight Whiskey\u003c\/a\u003e is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.

The Smoky Batch series takes that component and makes it the entire whisky, blending only smoky malt distilled at Yamazaki, and aims at a soft Japanese smokiness rather than a medicinal one. The Third continues that series at 43% ABV in 700 mL, produced by Suntory at the Yamazaki Distillery in Shimamoto, Osaka, and supplied with a presentation box and a card. The series is sold through duty-free in restricted quantity rather than on the domestic Japanese market, and its packaging carries Yamazaki’s brush calligraphy on an Echizen washi label dyed in sumi black. What Suntory has not published for this release is a launch date, a price or a tasting note, and this page states none of the three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails\u003e\n \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/midnightwhiskey.com\/pages\/authentication-standards\" class=\"mw-accent\"\u003eMidnight Whiskey\u003c\/a\u003e is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.

The single malt was distilled in 2007 (coded 2-007) and aged for 18 years in Speyside warehouses. To translate Bond’s sommelier-grade wine knowledge into liquid form, Greig married classic sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks with American oak casks that previously held fine red wine — a historic first for The Macallan’s James Bond series. The sherry cask influence pays homage to Bond’s early discernment of Solera sherry, while the red wine seasoning mirrors the film’s climax where his knowledge of claret unmasks an assassin.

This bottling combines sherry-seasoned American oak with casks that previously held bourbon, and American oak is the source of the coconut and vanilla notes the release is named for — those compounds come out of the wood, not out of any addition. Scotch whisky regulations allow only water and spirit caramel colouring to be added after distillation, and this bottling declares natural colour, so neither flavouring nor colouring is in play. No age statement is carried. The whisky was released alongside a travel-retail sister, Inspired by Toasted Coconut, which brings virgin oak into its recipe and is therefore a different whisky — none of its details describe this one. The presentation box is paper incorporating discarded coconut fibre, with coir and shells charred through an emission-free process to give the material its black colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails\u003e\n \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/midnightwhiskey.com\/pages\/authentication-standards\" class=\"mw-accent\"\u003eMidnight Whiskey\u003c\/a\u003e is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.

Barrels are selected from the aging warehouses and left undisturbed for fifteen years in deep-charred heavy oak, then bottled at a fixed 107 proof rather than at barrel strength — which is why every release reads the same on the label. The Van Winkle family partnered with Buffalo Trace in 2002, and the bourbon has been produced there since, with Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery of Frankfort, Kentucky named as bottler on the label. Releases are annual and allocated. The 2017 bottling differs from its neighbours in one respect only, the colour of the cap; the liquid, the age statement, the proof and the recipe are common to the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails\u003e\n \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/midnightwhiskey.com\/pages\/authentication-standards\" class=\"mw-accent\"\u003eMidnight Whiskey\u003c\/a\u003e is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.

much of its output has historically gone to blending, which is part of why very old single-cask Tomintoul is uncommon. This whisky was distilled in April 1969 and filled into ex-sherry butts and refill sherry hogsheads, where it stayed for more than five decades. In 2022 The Last Drop married three of those casks together and re-filled the result into a fresh ex-Matusalem sherry butt — Matusalem being a very old sweet Oloroso from Jerez — for a further two years before bottling at 43.1%. The sequencing is worth reading carefully: this is a sherry finish laid over a sherry maturation, so the final cask is adjusting a character it shares rather than imposing a new one. The Last Drop describes Release No. 38 as the sister cask to Release No. 36 from its 2024 Collection; they are related whiskies, not the same one, and nothing stated about either describes the other. The Last Drop Distillers has been part of the Sazerac Company since 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails\u003e\n \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/midnightwhiskey.com\/pages\/authentication-standards\" class=\"mw-accent\"\u003eMidnight Whiskey\u003c\/a\u003e is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.

That harvest was distilled, barrelled and set aside rather than released, and Última Reserva was built around it for the distillery's eightieth anniversary. The tequila is aged thirty-six months, placing it in the extra añejo category, and is held in a solera system — a fractional blending arrangement in which casks are never fully emptied, so tequilas of different characters are continually combined and the original harvest stays at the centre of the blend rather than being drawn down to nothing. The wood is used in two stages: a rest in oak that previously held bourbon, followed by a finish in casks seasoned with Madeira wine.

Vintage 1996 carries a date that means something more specific than most whiskey years: the distillery vintage-dates each bottle in this series to the year the bourbon was distilled rather than the year it was bottled.

Vintage 2004 comes from a series that was not built to be sold. When Buffalo Trace launched the O.F.C.

Six first-fill sherry-seasoned oak butts were picked out of the estate's maturing stock, each contributing something the others did not, and combined without reference to an age — the distillery is explicit that its whisky makers choose on quality and flavour rather than to a number of years, which is why no age statement appears. Bottling strength was set at 46.6% to carry three references at once: the six casks, the six materials in the vessel, and the Six Pillars the distillery organises itself around.
