- Excerpt: I’m looking forward to trying this again when a new seasonal batch comes out. That’s one of the fun, and sometimes frustrating, things about bonded products. They can, and do, change with the seasons.

- Excerpt: I admire the nod to tradition here. Bottled-in-bond might seem a bit dated and archaic, but it's honest and transparent, and I respect that; especially in an industry trending towards flashy non-age statement releases.

- Excerpt: All told, it’s not exactly a masterwork, but it’s much better than many other bourbons on the market selling at higher prices than this. The bottled-in-bond abv doesn’t hurt; this is a whiskey that can stand up to being knocked around a bit by some booziness — and maybe even come out ahead in the process.

- Publication: Whiskey Raiders
- Excerpt: Overall, this is nice. It drinks quite a bit differently from the old 6yr BiB that was like $9 or something silly, in a good way. Much more complex, though fans of more oak and spice will be most drawn to this bottle.

Intro:
A reintroduction of a once cult favorite KY only product, Heaven Hill 7yr Bottled in Bond replaces the old 6yr Bottled in Bond, complete with an extra year of aging and new packaging.
-
Nose:
Baking spice, toffee, cocoa and a bit of vanilla bean. There’s a bit of oak here, quite a bit on the nose.
-
Taste:
Thin to medium mouth feel. Some honey, pepper, a bit of dry oak. A little cream and cocoa. Not mega complex. For 50% the ethanol is very well priced. Dry and spicy on the back palate.
-
Finish:
Long finish, but spicy and dry. Praline, brown sugar, pepper, and cinnamon.
-
Overall:
Overall, this is nice. It drinks quite a bit differently from the old 6yr BiB that was like $9 or something silly, in a good way. Much more complex, though fans of more oak and spice will be most drawn to this bottle.
