Heaven Hill Releases Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon
Heaven Hill announced the 2025 edition of its Grain to Glass Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey, a limited-edition release.
Crafted entirely from seed to bottle in Nelson County, Kentucky, the 2025 edition features a mashbill with a higher secondary grain content than Heaven Hill’s traditional Wheated Bourbon mashbill: 35% wheat, 52% corn, and 13% malted barley. The selected corn varietal — Beck’s 6225, along with the mashbill’s wheat component are grown by family-owned Peterson Farms on one of two sites in Nelson County — reflects the distillery’s dedication to sourcing local, carefully chosen grain.
Aged over six years at Heaven Hill’s Cox’s Creek rickhouse site, the whiskey is non-chill filtered and bottled at barrel proof, 106.6 proof (53.3% ABV).
“With this edition of Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon, we celebrate not only the time-honored tradition of wheated bourbon but also the transparency that defines this series,” Conor O’Driscoll, Master Distiller at Heaven Hill Distillery, said in a news release. “From selecting the Beck’s 6225 corn seed varietal to bottling at barrel proof, every choice reflects our mission to share the full story of how great whiskey is made. This bourbon offers both whiskey enthusiasts and collectors an authentic connection to our grain-to-glass philosophy.”
The label design continues the series’ commitment to storytelling, featuring detailed illustrations of Bernheim Distillery and artwork celebrating the farming traditions that sustain Kentucky whiskey-making. Each bottle highlights the unique corn varietal, mashbill, distillation, and release year, reinforcing Heaven Hill’s dedication to transparency.
The 700ml bottles will be available across the U.S. at a suggested retail price of $99.99. This release also supports Farm Rescue, honoring 20 years of aiding farm families in crisis.
