Innovative 9-Year-Old Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon Unites Traditional and Wheated Bourbon Mashbills for an Entirely New Whiskey Experience
BARDSTOWN, Ky. (July 15, 2026) – Heaven Hill Distillery, the world’s largest family owned and operated distillery and the leader in Bottled-in-Bond Whiskey, proudly announces the launch of Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Double Mash, an innovative new expression that brings together two distinct mashbills in one remarkable Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon. The release joins the award-winning Heaven Hill portfolio, alongside Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond, the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection and Heaven Hill Grain to Glass, further showcasing the distillery’s commitment to producing exceptional American Whiskeys that honor tradition while embracing innovation.
A first-of-its-kind release, Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Double Mash unites two-thirds traditional Bourbon mashbill (78% corn, 10% rye and 12% malted barley) with one-third Wheated Bourbon mashbill (68% corn, 20% wheat and 12% malted barley), both aged for nine years and bottled at 100 proof in accordance with the strict standards established by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. The result is a layered, balanced Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that showcases the richness and structure of traditional Bourbon alongside the softer, rounded character imparted by wheat.
As the leader in Bottled-in-Bond whiskey, Heaven Hill Distillery developed Double Mash to demonstrate both its deep understanding of Bourbon production and the unique opportunities that exist within the Bottled-in-Bond designation. While Wheated Bourbon has become one of the whiskey world’s most sought-after styles, it is not recognized as a separate legal classification under U.S. whiskey regulations. That distinction allowed Heaven Hill’s whiskey makers to thoughtfully unite traditional and Wheated Bottled-in-Bond Bourbons into a single expression, creating a whiskey unlike any other currently on the market.
“At Heaven Hill, innovation begins with a deep respect for tradition,” said Conor O’Driscoll, Master Distiller at Heaven Hill Distillery. “Double Mash is a reflection of our understanding of both Bourbon making and the Bottled-in-Bond standards that have defined quality American Whiskey for more than a century. By bringing together our traditional and Wheated Bourbon mashbills, we’ve created a first-of-its-kind Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that delivers a distinctly different tasting experience while remaining true to the craftsmanship and authenticity that define Heaven Hill.”
A complement to Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon, Double Mash carries a nine-year age statement, allowing additional maturation to enhance its depth and complexity while delivering a uniquely balanced flavor profile.
Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Double Mash pours a warm amber color with aromas of toasted oak, honey and a hint of white pepper. The palate is bright and rich, offering honey and citrus oil before finishing with rich caramel and baking spices. The result is a Bourbon with exceptional balance, depth and complexity.
Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Double Mash will be available beginning August 2026 at a suggested retail price of $49.99 in limited quantities nationwide.
