Heaven Hill’s back label calls this 12th Edition the oldest William Heavenhill to date: a 19-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon from 30 barrels, released in October 2025 and bottled at its barrel proof of 138.2 (69.1% ABV) without chill filtration.

Nº 01

The Elemental Distinction

Oldest to date. Nineteen years tops the 2008 first edition’s 18 years and 9 months, and every edition since.

Second only to 144.6. Of every proof the series has printed, only the strongest of the 2014 4th Edition’s three bottlings, 144.6, stands higher than 138.2.

Two sites, four floors. Rickhouse A at Glencoe held them on its 4th and 5th floors, Rickhouse O at Heaven Hill’s main rickhouse site on its 5th and 7th.

Barrel proof, no chill filtering. The back label states both.

Barrel Proof, like the 7th. One earlier edition carries that designation in Heaven Hill’s list, the 12-year-old 7th of May 2019 at 134.4; the list calls the 1st, 2nd and 4th Cask Strength.

Nº 02

Eleven Years to Nineteen

Ages across twelve editions

The series has moved widely in age. The 3rd Edition of 2014 was 11 years old and the 7th of 2019 was 12; the 2008 first edition, at 225 months, and the 17-year-old 10th Edition of 2023 come nearest to the twelfth’s nineteen years. Strength has ranged as widely, from the 100-proof Bottled-in-Bond 3rd, 8th and 11th Editions to the 144.6-proof top of the 2014 4th Edition.

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Distillery tasting notes

Sensory Profile

Heaven Hill’s notes give the color as polished chestnut; on the nose, toasted oak and dark brown sugar, then toasted pecans and almonds; a mellow, viscous palate of maple sweetness and warm baking spice that moves to plum and cherry; and a long, warm finish holding Luxardo cherries and raspberry jam.

Strategic Position

Against the 15-year-old Small Batch 9th Edition of 2022, cut to 109 proof, the twelfth carries 29.2 proof points more; against the 106-proof Small Batch from 2018, three more years in wood.
