We booked the “Whiskey connoisseur” experience at Heaven Hill and it was fantastic. We got to try Elijah Craig toasted barrel, Henry McKinna, Elijah Craig barrel proof and the new Parker's Heritage that releases next month (which is legitimately amazing). Then we went to the Honey Spot Barrel Thieving which was really interesting.
When we were at dinner, I ordered a pour of a 1966 Heaven Hill from the Whiskey Library and it’s very high up on the “best bourbon I’ve ever had” list. Food was great and our server overheard someone say we were there for my birthday so we got free cake. Then we went to see the Whiskey Library. It is phenomenal. Legit amazing. I’m going to try to talk my wife into going down there next year and doing the “Taste of Whiskey History” where you do a flight of 3 bottles in the Library, starting at the low, low price of $250.
And the cottage at Log Still was fantastic. We didn’t know this, but we also got breakfast at the bed & breakfast that’s also on property. What they’re doing there is the future of bourbon tourism. It’s really cool and I can’t recommend it enough.
That sounds like an absolutely perfect weekend! How much did a pour of that '66 HH set you back, if you don't mind me asking? Is it from '66, or just the name/recipe?
