William Heavenhill 4th Edition 15 Years Old Cask Strength 135.6 Proof Mint Wax No Crack

135.6 proof. 15 years. 4th Edition. Mint Wax — no crack. William Heavenhill 4th Edition, distilled at Bernheim Distillery and bottled at cask strength 15 years later in Bardstown in a one-time run. The mint wax seal is intact with no crack — pristine presentation condition for a program where wax integrity is a documented collector consideration.

The William Heavenhill program honors William Heavenhill, the man whose name graced the Bardstown distillery site that became Heaven Hill. The 4th Edition is a 15-year cask strength expression produced at Bernheim Distillery in Louisville — the same facility Heaven Hill acquired after the 1996 Bardstown fire destroyed their original still house. Bernheim has been the production home of all Heaven Hill bourbon since 1999.

At 135.6 proof and 15 years, the 4th Edition is in the high-concentration tier of the William Heavenhill program — above the 15-year 4th Edition's companion expressions in the collection and presenting Heaven Hill's full cask strength character at an extended age.
