Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Specialty Barrel Series Rye Whiskey Aged In Chinquapin Oak

Bold, balanced, and beautifully complex the 2025 Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Specialty Barrel Series Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey represents the pinnacle of Heaven Hills grain-to-glass craftsmanship. As part of the inaugural Specialty Barrel Series, this limited-edition rye is fully aged for six years in Chinquapin Oak barrels, a rare American white oak species prized for its rich vanillin content and layered sweetness.

Distilled from a 63% Rye, 24% Corn, and 13% Malted Barley mashbill, this whiskey was barreled at 107 proof and bottled non-chill filtered, capturing the pure essence of grain and wood in perfect harmony. The Chinquapin Oak imparts a luxurious depth aromas of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and brown sugar lead into a palate of caramelized spice, citrus zest, and honeyed oak, finishing long with pepper, cocoa, and toffee warmth.

Each bottle is presented in a custom 700ml design embossed with Family Owned Since 1935, featuring a distinctive jewel-toned label, gold-coin cork insert, and a transparency panel detailing the corn varietal, mashbill, and distillation year. This expression honors Heaven Hills continued dedication to transparency, sustainability, and the art of maturation.
