What Bourbon Should You Buy: Ep 4 - Heaven Hill
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- I get asked the question all the time: “What bourbon should I buy?” Unfortunately, there’s no short answer. So I figured I’d create a series of videos to help answer that question exhaustively. This is the first step in the journey. Tune in to this series to get my take on what’s worth buying and the prices I believe these products are worth.
Ep 4 focuses on most of the products available through the Heaven Hill Distillery.

I came across three bottles of Henry McKenna BIB this past weekend. There was no price tag on them so o asked the cashier how much. He told me $32.99. I asked him if I could purchase all three and he said, “Hell Yeah”. So, I kept two for myself and gave one to my dad as a birthday present.
man, can't beat that deal! where about if u don't mind?
Richmond, TX. We pretty much get everything, except GTS…
@@JuanRamos-gc4nl yeah, i think i've heard TX gets great allocation, especially Wellers! 😉🥃
i found hm10 at walmart while road-tripping through louisiana for $35-bought the three on the shelf. have also found boxes and boxes of it in college station for less than $35-kicking myself in the ass for not buying a case because it was delicious!
Awesome. Super helpful.
JTS Brown is cool because that's what Paul Newman drank in the film "The Hustler."
Normal Henry McKenna is my fav cheap bourbon
im new to Bourbon I really like your channel , im learning a lot THANKS
I bought 2 bottles of Henry Mckenna BiB today.. can't wait till crack one open
I'm paying 85, when I can find it, for the Henry McKenna here in Texas.
Heaven Hill actually has 2 different wheated mash bills. Parkers/Bernhiem 51 wheat, 37 corn, 12 barley. Larceny/ OF 20 wheat, 68 corn, 12 barely. To me the Parkers/Bernhiem is a better tasting whiskey
This distillery-by-distillery breakdown is easy to follow and full of great info. Thanks from north Alabama!
Loved the video, question, when Heaven Hill's barrels are used for barrel aging stout, how could I know which they've used? Can I tell via taste or are certain ones used more than other
Hands down the most underrated Bourbon channel out there! I have learned so much from you. Thank you and keep up the good work, also love this new series!
I spy a Laddie. Cheers
Love the channel and the content, don't love the loud sound of you drinking bourbon lol
What is your top recommended replacement for Stagg? I like a strong burning flavor and can't seem to find any more Stagg.
Was in Fla several months ago and found the Heaven Hill bib and loved it. Unfortunately here in Va it’s a unicorn.
This series is great, lately I've been focused on trying to get all of a Series that I can, lately i have been working on Balcones and Elijah Craig, when toasted barrel or BP comes out.
Was lucky to snag a bottle.of Parkers 10 HC for retail and a case of A121 also Heaven Hill is great juice some of it
Good info, like your channel , top shelf, my only complaint, not your fault, know it's just bizness , those fookin, annoying YT commercial interruptions, it's the death of cool MTV all over again
oh well, guess I'll have another sip of the preacher Craig...r0ck0n
Great video with great content! Thank you!
Pikesville > EC Rye all day, even in that price range WT 101 Rye is way better. EC Rye is pretty decent though.
This series was awesome!! Thanks!
Drew, Mckenna 10 is 70 in Buffalo NY, everywhere....is it worth 70?
In Olean NY it's $58 . Just grabbed 2 bottles today
Great video - thanks Drew
Really enjoying this series... Keep up the great content!!!
Great info keep it coming agreed with everything you said!
How often do you wet the corks on the bottles you are planning on saving for a special occasion? Like if you had a bottle you were saving for your kids wedding that was a good five to ten years away
I was lucky enough to get a bottle of ECBP A121 great bourbon. After staying away from Evan Williams since a bad night in college it may be time to give the bottled in bond a try.
I agree with you about regular Larceny. I just get a moldy hay taste that I am not a fan of.
One of the best whiskies I've ever tasted was a William Heaven Hill 11 bottled in bond. It was at the distillery. It blew a Heaven Hill Select Stock (wheated mashbill 11 years old finished in cognac barrels) and the Elijah Craig 23 out of the water. This was earlier in my whiskey drinking life though, and I couldn't imagine paying the $140 for a bottle of it (especially since I bought two cask strength bottles of Four Roses right before).
I still really wonder if it was that good.
Great Job!!!
I think the standard Henry McKenna is the best whiskey you can get at under $15, I’ve seen it for $9.99 a 1/5.
I like it too, was really shocked at how good it was for how cheap it was. I think Heaven Hill has the value market on lockdown
I’m with you on Larceny. I really wanted to like it as a replacement for Weller, but I’m just not a fan of the standard bottle or the store picks that I’ve had. I have a Barrel Proof bottle that I haven’t opened yet, but my expectations are low. I’d much rather have Maker’s or Weller.
i enjoyed the barrel proof so much i bought a bottle after trying it at a restaurant (batch a121)
I am so green to bourbon. There is soooo much to learn. These have been great videos. Good information.
Great video. I’ve been a maker’s mark guy for a long time. I need to expand my horizons
Good overview. Aren't most current Luxco products (e.g. Rebel Yell, Ezra Brooks, David Nicholson) sourced from Heaven Hill? I'm sure that will change now that they've had their own distillery for a few years and since they're now owned by MGP.
Correct. I plan to review them sometime very soon.
If the 1783 is 18 bucks why not sell it for $17.83
found the hh7 bib for $40 it was really good
Seven year Heaven Hill is good for the price. Elijah Craig C920 and A121 are really good. Elijah Craig 18 year is awesome! Never had Heaven Hill select or Parker's Heritage.
Love your distillery run downs. I am a heaven hill junkie, this has been my favorite.
This series is great! Love all the details and recommendations!
What's crazy is the Evan Williams 12 is like 32 bucks after tax in Japan and is a shelf turd. I had it once, and it did not really remind me of ecbp at all. Very sweet molasses and almost no nuttiness.
Nowhere can you get HMcK for 50$ here in SoCal. Wish I was back in MKE drinking Stone Creek coffee.
How do you feel about Henry McKenna 10 yr BIB at $79.99?
Feels like a stretch. I know I can get it for cheeper than that periodically. I think it really depends on what distribution looks like in your community. At this point, I'd pass over $60, but that may change in the days ahead.
I paid $58 today
i love HM10. ecbp is a little sharp for me and ectb is plasticky. i enjoy the SmB storepick single barrels. good stuff. enjoy your videos and the straight-forward approach. too many channels feel the need to go over the top trying to be funny and it gets old.
I’m a big Heaven Hill fan. I think they have some of t he best values in bourbon.
Great review! Totally agree with you on Heaven Hill. Love it but not a fan of Larceny
Terrific rundown Drew. Audio was a little rustle-y early on. I really need to crack my bottle of HM10.
I subscribed to your channel and liked your video. I really enjoy your content. 😊 I got into Bourbon a year ago. I’m building up a small collection on a bar cart. I feel like I got into the game late. I live in the Chicago suburbs and there are bottles that I just can’t find. Stagg Jr for instance. I’ve seen it once at a local rip off store for $200! It’s disappointing not to be able to try all this great bourbon out there. I’ve had some luck with grocery stores. They don’t have a large selection, but whatever they get is sold at or near MSRP. So, I’ve started to support them rather than my local liquor stores who try to gauge me. I like your channel because your are a regular guy. You don’t have 5 of everything behind you. I’m hoping to get lucky one of these days on a road trip or an airport. Keep up the great work. I also appreciate that you are not trying to sell shit every video or act like a buffoon all the time like some other channels. 😂
Love the series, Drew! Random sidenote, Im 99 percent sure that Fistful of Bourbon is using cheap Henry McKenna or an Evan Williams as their "backbone" flavor. If you like the Heaven Hill taste profile, its worth trying
Try Evan Williams green label or black label.
Great video! Heaven Hill > Buffalo Trace :-)
Thought about this and yep, I think youre right!! EC > Buffalo Trace and ER. Also Buffalo Trace distillery has nothing that can compete with EW at its pricepoint
Enjoyed the video, loving the series, thanks for the informative content!
Did you forget Fighting Cock 🐓 or was it intentionally left off (as you mention in the vid)?
6 yr age, 103 proof, $15.99 on sale in my area. It's my go-to for sharing with buddies on camping trips without breaking the bank.
The HH white label Banquet Bourbon is not good...stay away. EW black label is a great starter bourbon, and Henry McKenna is very good if you can find it for a decent price.
