Whiskey Review: Henry McKenna Bottled in Bond Single Barrel Bourbon

Introduction We’re revisiting one of the most talked-about bourbons of the past decade: Henry McKenna Bottled-in-Bond Single Barrel Bourbon . This 100-proof, 10-year age-stated bourbon from Heaven Hill Distillery exploded in popularity after being named Best in Show Whiskey at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. At the time, it was a $35 bottle beating out much older, pricier scotches, earning it a cult following and a massive price hike. But what happens when a bottle that once cost $35 now retails for $65 or more? Does the whiskey itself hold up, or are we chasing nostalgia (and marketing hype)? After trying over 500 whiskeys since we first reviewed this bottle in Season 1, we decided it was time to revisit McKenna and give it a fresh look. This review is taken from our episode " The Lion King (1994) / Henry McKenna 10-Year Single Barrel Bourbon ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format.
