It also came out of the same reserved stock as the Heaven Hill 27-Year-Old of 2018, which is the only other bottling drawn from those barrels.

Neat first; the nutty, leathery register Heaven Hill describes is the part that a heavy hand with water dilutes fastest.

Heaven Hill combined three lots — seventeen, nineteen and twenty years old — and let the youngest set the age statement, which is what US labelling requires and what most producers decline to itemise. Here the split is printed on the label, along with the four rickhouse sites the barrels came from: Deatsville, Glencoe, Schenley and the main campus at Bardstown. Drawing across four sites rather than one is the opposite approach to the tightly sourced later editions, and it is what let the distillery assemble a blend of this age at all. The whiskey went into the bottle straight from the barrel at 118.2 proof, with no chill filtering and no reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through Midnight Whiskey is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.

The age statement reflects the youngest whiskey in the bottle, which is why a mingling that is mostly older than seventeen years is labelled as a 17-year-old.
