Heaven Hill Grain To Glass Wheated Bourbon 2026 Release

A Celebration of Terroir and Tradition

Experience the ultimate expression of Kentucky distillation terroir with the Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon 2026 Release. A proud feature of the Nestor Liquor Bourbon Heritage Collection, this innovative series traces every step of the whiskey-making process—from the specific seed varietal grown by local farming partners to the final pour in your glass. Distilled in 2019 and carefully matured until its 2026 release, this exceptional straight bourbon emphasizes the deep connection between agriculture and artisanal whiskey craftsmanship.

This specific vintage is crafted using Beck's 6269 corn seed varietal alongside a highly unique, custom wheated mashbill of 52% corn, 35% wheat, and 13% malted barley. The heavy wheat influence yields an incredibly soft, sweet, and approachable profile. Bottled at a robust 107.8 proof (53.9% ABV), it delivers a full-bodied tasting experience without overpowering the delicate, grain-forward nuances that make this limited-edition release so remarkable.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Inviting aromas of fresh baked artisan bread, sweet honeycomb, toasted oak, and delicate floral undertones.
• Palate: Incredibly soft and coating on the palate, offering rich flavors of caramel, graham cracker, baked peach, and soft winter wheat, balanced by a gentle oak spice.
• Finish: Long, elegant, and gently warming, leaving a lasting impression of sweet vanilla, toasted almond, and lingering honey.
