Process & Profile

Hickory Hill 15 Year Old Bourbon 750mL 90 Proof is a premium Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey that showcases the depth and character developed through 15 years of traditional barrel aging. Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), this mature expression offers a refined approach to well-aged American whiskey, emphasizing the influence of extended oak maturation while maintaining an approachable drinking strength.

Aged for a full 15 years in new charred oak barrels, Hickory Hill develops the characteristics associated with long-matured Kentucky bourbon. Over time, the interaction between whiskey and oak contributes to a richer profile, bringing together the classic bourbon characteristics of vanilla, caramel, toasted wood, and warming spice.

Unlike the higher-proof Hickory Hill 15 Year Unfiltered Cask Strength expression, this 90-proof bottling offers a more restrained presentation of mature Kentucky bourbon. Its extended age statement makes it an appealing choice for enthusiasts seeking a well-aged whiskey without the intensity of barrel-proof releases.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Inviting aromas of mature oak, warm vanilla, and caramel, complemented by hints of toasted wood, baking spice, and subtle sweetness.

• Palate: A balanced combination of vanilla, caramelized sugar, toasted oak, and gentle spice. Rich bourbon sweetness meets the deeper wood characteristics associated with extended barrel aging.

• Finish: Warming and oak-forward, with lingering impressions of vanilla, caramel, and mellow spice.

What Makes It Special

• Kentucky Straight Bourbon Heritage: Represents the traditional Kentucky bourbon category, produced under straight bourbon whiskey aging and production requirements.

• Aged Bourbon Collection: An appealing addition for collectors and enthusiasts interested in exploring older Kentucky straight bourbon expressions.

How to Enjoy

Hickory Hill 15 Year Old Bourbon is best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn glass or traditional whiskey tumbler to appreciate the character developed during its extended maturation.

Allow the whiskey to rest briefly after pouring, giving its oak, vanilla, and caramel characteristics time to open. Sip slowly to explore the balance between traditional bourbon sweetness and mature barrel influence.

For a slightly chilled experience, serve over a single large ice cube. Its 90-proof strength also makes it suitable for a premium Old Fashioned, where a restrained amount of sugar and bitters can complement the bourbon's mature oak character.
