Henry McKenna 10 Year Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon
(0.75l, 50%)
The ultimate everyday Bourbon.
Henry Mckenna was an Irish immigrant who came to Kentucky in 1837. With a background in distilling, Mckenna brought with him the generations-old family Whisky recipe and set up shop in Fairfield, Kentucky — just about five miles from where the current Heaven Hill Distillery is located in Bardstown, Kentucky. The story of Heaven Hill is quite a tale to tell in itself. They started back in 1933 and remain the only family-owned distillery in Kentucky, with the second largest inventory of Bourbon in the world. In 1996, Heaven Hill's production plant was almost completely destroyed by fire. The company survived and while fermenting, mashing, and distilling now occurs at the new Louisville distillery, aging, bottling, and shipping still occur in Bardstown. The question is – what do good ol’ Henry and Heaven Hill have in common?
Well, besides the location, the love for Bourbon, of course. Now, you take that love for Bourbon, combine it with the classic Heaven Hill mash bill (75% corn, 13% rye & 12% barley), almost a hundred years of tradition, 10 years in the barrel, and you get Henry McKenna Single Barrel 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon. The Whiskey is Bottled-in-Bond* at 50% ABV and represents everything a proper traditional Bourbon’s supposed to be. It’s tasty, aromatic and packs quite a punch as well. Perfectly balanced. Last but not least – it represents outstanding value for money. It drinks like a Whiskey twice the price. But it doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. It’s just a good old-fashioned straightforward Bourbon made with competence and love. Henry would approve.
Smartass Corner:
*Any spirit labeled as Bottled-in-Bond must be the product of one distillation season and one distiller at a single distillery. Also, the law requires that bonded spirits be aged in a federally bonded warehouse under U.S. government supervision for at least four years and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV). Henry McKenna is the longest aged Bottled-in-Bond available today, resting in the barrel through 40 Kentucky seasons.

The temperatures of American warehouses are much higher, so the pace of maturation is much quicker for Bourbons than for Scotch Whiskies

Ratings & Reviews
Stephen,
Taste younger than a 10 year old, but has a very stereotypical bourbon flavor. This is a constant in my home bar.
Scott,
Easy to drink for 100 proof
Mike,
Love the nose, honey and caramel and fruit, tastes a little spicy and hot, Carmel in the back , long finish but not as sweet as some.
Pretty good but not my favorite so far after my first tasting.
Unless you like high proof whiskey this is not for you, it’s pretty intense but in a good way for some who like that.
I like it, wish it was a little sweeter for me but then I have a lot of those bottles so it’s a nice interesting addition to my collection.
Marcus,
Solid complex offering. Balanced oak and nice soft mouthfeel with wine like tannins and butterscotch notes.
J,
Smooth and easy sipping
