Heaven Hill Launches Limited-Edition 13-Year-Old Bourbon to Honor Closure of Historic Deatsville Campus

On Thursday, Bardstown, Ky.-based Heaven Hill Distillery announced the release of Deatsville 13-Year-Old Bourbon Whiskey, one of the final bourbons to fully mature at the distillery’s soon-to-shutter Deatsville campus. Crafted from a mash bill of 78 percent corn, 12 percent malted barley, and 10 percent rye, the bourbon was bottled from just 17 barrels, each of which matured on the third floor of Deatsville’s Rickhouse AA. Whiskey production at the storied Deatsville campus dates back to 1844 when the T.W. Samuels Distillery was founded, though distilling operations ceased in 1952.
