The second release in Heaven Hill’s Heritage Collection series is a 20-year-old corn whiskey. The nose has notes of buttered popcorn, honey, vanilla, oak, and a hint of tobacco leaf. The taste has touches of cinnamon, black pepper, a hint of walnuts, oak tannins, honey, and a hint of sweet corn that comes out as the spices start to fade. The finish has lingering oak and wood spices with a subtle sweetness.
