Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon Specialty Barrel

Description

This whiskey has a burnished copper hue with aromas of vanilla, caramelized sugar, and sweet oak. The palate offers a nice balance of vanilla and caramel with notes of lavender and rose petals to provide a soft and rounded mouthfeel. The finish lingers with toasted nuts, leather and coffee notes. Each year, Heaven Hill's Master Distiller partners with fellow family-owned seed company Beck's Hybrids to hand-select a unique corn seed varietal that best grows in Kentucky. Beck's 6225 was the corn seed varietal chosen for this 2nd edition to grow well in the soils of Central Kentucky. The corn and wheat were grown by family-owned Peterson Farms on one of two sites in Nelson County, Kentucky. The 2nd Edition of the Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey features a mashbill with higher secondary grain content than the traditional Wheated Bourbon mashbill. The distillate entered the barrel at 107 proof, has been aged over six years at our Cox's Creek rickhouse site, non-chill filtered and bottled at barrel proof, 106.6 proof.
