Henry McKenna 10 Year Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey

Henry McKenna 10 Year won Best in Show Whiskey at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and hasn't been easy to find since — a ten-year, single-barrel, bottled-in-bond Heaven Hill bourbon that Breaking Bourbon rates 4 out of 5 and calls a dynamic bourbon that ranges from above-average to excellent barrel to barrel. Henry McKenna was an Irish immigrant who arrived in 1837 and settled in Fairfield, Kentucky to distill his family's recipe; Heaven Hill, the largest family-owned distillery in America, owns the name and makes it from the 78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley mashbill it uses for Elijah Craig and Evan Williams. Each bottle is one barrel, from one distilling season, aged ten years in the Bardstown rickhouses, and bottled at exactly 100 proof per the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act — the only ten-year single-barrel bonded bourbon in regular production; the barrel number and date are on the neck. Breaking Bourbon: caramel and vanilla against seasoned oak with cinnamon on the nose; caramel, vanilla, and oak balanced by caramelized sugar and graham cracker with rye spice building on the palate; and a finish where the spice tapers into brown sugar, honey, and tobacco. The Whiskey Shelf and Scotch Noob both note the oak-forward, classic Kentucky depth. Honest note: the 2019 win turned a $35 sleeper into an allocated bottle, and it's still one of the few ten-year single barrels under $100 — the quintessential Kentucky bourbon for the drinker who wants age, proof, and pedigree in one label. Neat, in a Glencairn. McKenna, ten years, one barrel.
