Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Rye

Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey marks the inaugural rye expression in the brand’s Grain to Glass series—a bold exploration of whiskey’s agricultural and distilling roots. Crafted with Beck’s 6158 corn seed varietal and a mashbill distinct from traditional rye recipes, this 6-year-old whiskey is aged in rickhouse W3 across multiple floors to develop a richly complex flavor profile influenced by varied warehouse conditions.

Bottled at barrel proof (123.2) without chill filtration, this limited-edition release captures the powerful, grain-forward essence of its unique composition. The result is a rye whiskey that masterfully balances spice, sweetness, and structure—showcasing the craftsmanship behind each stage of production.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Fresh corn and rye spice, with toasted oak, vanilla, and hints of baking spice.

• Palate: Caramelized sugar, bold rye spice, and dried fruit with a vibrant, full-bodied structure.

• Finish: Long and warming, with persistent spice, oak, and gentle sweetness that lingers.

Why It’s Special:
This expression embodies the Grain to Glass philosophy by highlighting a single corn varietal and a custom rye mashbill, offering a rare departure from Heaven Hill’s classic rye lineup. The use of unfiltered, barrel proof whiskey enhances its intensity and purity, making this a standout expression for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Perfect Pairing:
Enjoy neat or with a few drops of water to open up its bold complexity. It pairs beautifully with smoked brisket, peppered sausages, or a sharp blue cheese—perfect complements to its spice-driven character.

A True Grain to Glass Experience:
Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a bold fusion of heritage and innovation. With its custom grain selection, distinct mashbill, and robust proof, it delivers a one-of-a-kind rye that honors tradition while forging a new path for American whiskey.
