Heaven Hill Grain To Glass Rye Whiskey

Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a celebration of true American whiskey craftsmanship — a fully transparent, seed-to-sip release that showcases Heaven Hill’s devotion to quality, agriculture, and authenticity. Aged for six years in rickhouses W5 and W6 at Cox’s Creek, this barrel-proof rye delivers a rare look into the distillery’s meticulous process, from seed selection to final bottling.

Each year, Heaven Hill selects a specific corn seed varietal to highlight in the Grain to Glass series. For the 2nd Edition, the chosen varietal is Beck’s 6225, a nod to the agricultural roots that shape flavor long before fermentation begins. Bottled at 105.2 proof and non–chill filtered, this release captures the rye in its purest form — rich, textured, and undiluted.

With a unique mashbill, single-varietal transparency, and aging across the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors of traditional Kentucky rickhouses, this expression reflects Heaven Hill’s promise to honor both innovation and heritage. For fans of authentic rye whiskey, Grain to Glass remains one of the most compelling limited releases in the Heaven Hill family.

The second edition continues this mission through thoughtful grain selection, intentional floor-aging, and the purity of a barrel-proof, non–chill-filtered bottling. It is a whiskey built for true rye lovers, crafted with respect for tradition and curiosity for the future of American grain.
