Heaven Hill 10 Year Old Corn Whiskey bottled by Artful Dodger

Independent bottler Artful Dodger managed to smuggle a phenomenal Kentucky gem across the Atlantic. Securing this particular liquid from customs bureaucracy was an absolute triumph! They acquired a specific parcel of 2009 vintage spirit from Heaven Hill, a Kentucky distillery celebrated for its massive, steady industrial output. Instead of relying on the conventional charred oak regimen, they diverted this distillate into a single Port pipe for a decade of quiet transformation. The collision between the profound red-fruit influence of the fortified wine cask and the fundamental, earthy character of traditional American corn yields an unorthodox profile. It breaks all conventional rules.

Yielding a paltry 381 bottles globally, cask #152726 remains fiercely scarce and highly coveted by serious collectors. You rarely encounter high-proof corn distillate leaning so heavily into dark, brooding territory. Bottled at a hefty 59.3% ABV, the liquid retains a viscous, muscular texture that effortlessly carries the immense weight of the Portuguese wine maturation. Such rigorous aging eradicates any juvenile edges. What an absolute powerhouse of flavor!

• Distilled in 2009 at Heaven Hill Distillery
