William Heavenhill.

Every William Heavenhill release is a piece of the family record. The name belongs to the son born on the Bardstown land that would, more than a century later, become Heaven Hill Distillery, and the bottling that honors him has become one of the distillery's quietest allocated lines. Small batches. Old enough to wear it. Higher proof than the standard shelf. Released a few at a time, usually direct from the distillery, and often gone before most retailers know they shipped.

For collectors and enthusiasts, that's where the chase is. A ten-year batch reads differently than a fourteen; a barrel-proof release pours differently than a bottled-in-bond version. Below is the working reference we keep at Cana, every William Heavenhill release in order, with proof, age, batch details, and the production notes that explain why each year sits the way it does.
