Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon Chinquapin Oak

The Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Specialty Barrel Series takes the distillery’s trusted Wheated Bourbon mashbill and pushes it into new territory—where rare oak, meticulous craft, and agricultural transparency collide. Each year, Heaven Hill selects a unique barrel type in partnership with Independent Stave Company, allowing wood character—not gimmicks—to reshape the whiskey’s foundation.

For 2025, the spotlight lands on Chinquapin oak, a Missouri-grown white oak prized for its deep grain structure and flavor intensity. This 7-year Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon was matured entirely in Chinquapin casks, creating a profile that’s richer, darker, and more complex than traditional American oak ever delivers. Bottled at 105 proof, it amplifies the signature Grain to Glass sweetness while introducing layers of butterscotch, spice, and oak-forward depth that unfold slowly in the glass.

For collectors, wheated bourbon enthusiasts, and Heaven Hill loyalists, this is one of the most expressive entries in the series—familiar at its core, yet transformed by the rare wood that shapes every sip.
