Virgin 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1L

Virgin 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (1L) is a rare, age-stated bourbon that embodies the rich legacy of traditional Kentucky whiskey-making. Bottled at a robust 101 proof (50.5% ABV), this under-the-radar gem is produced by Heaven Hill Distillery under the historic Meadowlawn Distilling Co. label—a name that pays homage to a mid-20th century distillery once known for its bold, no-frills bourbon expressions.

Aged for a full 10 years, Virgin 10 Year offers a level of maturity and depth that far exceeds expectations for its price point and availability. Crafted from Heaven Hill’s classic bourbon mash bill—approximately 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley—this bourbon delivers a warm, full-bodied profile with a dry, oak-forward structure that appeals to seasoned bourbon drinkers.

On the nose, it opens with toasted caramel, spiced vanilla, and dark cherry, followed by hints of leather and charred oak. The palate is rich and well-rounded, showcasing molasses, cinnamon bark, roasted nuts, and dry tobacco leaf, balanced by a firm backbone of seasoned wood. The finish is long, warming, and satisfyingly dry with lingering spice and earthy depth.

Though not widely distributed—often found in export or collector markets—Virgin 10 Year has earned a quiet cult following for offering serious age and proof without the hype. With roots tracing back to Kentucky’s golden era of bourbon, it stands as a tribute to timeless craftsmanship and straight-shooting whiskey. For connoisseurs and collectors alike, this bottle offers both everyday drinkability and long-term value.
