Heaven Hill ? Kentucky Bourbon Distillers (via Heaven Hill) ? I guess it does not matter. All about enjoying the finished product.

That distillery has not made a drop of spirit since 1992. It was recently sold but needs a lot of work and is still silent. The whiskey for the Wathen and Medley brands is made by an undisclosed Kentucky distillery under contract.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-22038010396623823952014-12-03T13:36:16.834-06:002014-12-03T13:36:16.834-06:00Hi Chuck,

I've actually been trying to find out about where Wathen's comes from for quite some time and was pleased to finally get an answer (though no one seems to know where they source it, at least I got some closure on the status of the distillery which stopped operations in '92 if I understand correctly and that it's not MGPI product).<br />All that being said I was hoping you could confirm that the information in the this link is false https://www.caskers.com/medley-4-year-old-old-medley-12-year-old-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey/<br /><br />I also ordered "Bourbon, Straight" and can't wait to read it.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />JonnyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-40655592309561031152014-11-05T09:34:36.362-06:002014-11-05T09:34:36.362-06:00Worse...I just saw their website.

There is a nice thick almost oiliness to the Wathens SB and I now know why. T Compnoreply@blogger.com
