Heaven Hill Rye Grain to Glass (750Ml)

Description

Heaven Hill's Grain to Glass series follows one idea from the field to your glass. The distillery picked a corn seed with Beck's Hybrids. Peterson Farms grew it in Nelson County, Kentucky, close to the distillery.

This rye uses a mash of 63% rye, 24% corn and 13% malted barley. That is more rye than Heaven Hill's usual rye recipe. It aged around six years and was bottled at barrel proof, 123.2, without chill filtering.

Heaven Hill describes a nose of toasted oak with dried grasses and dried flowers. The palate turns rich, with cigar tobacco, big caramel and butterscotch. On the finish you get a wisp of campfire smoke and charred oak. Cinnamon builds as it fades. Other tasters also find nutmeg, honey and a touch of marmalade on the palate.

This first edition earned a Gold Medal from the Beverage Tasting Institute in 2024. It's a well-rounded spirit that rewards a slow pour.

At this strength, add a little water and give it a minute. It also makes a bold Manhattan or Old Fashioned. Serve it with BBQ, smoked meats or a square of dark chocolate.

If you like to know where your whiskey's grain came from, you'll enjoy this one. It's a great pick for rye fans who want real punch.
