Heaven Hill released its grain-to-glass series in June 2024, and the brand shared the idea was over eight years in the making. This is the brand's wheated bourbon, and it clocks in at 121 proof. The mashbill is composed of 52% corn, 35% wheat and 13% malted barley. It has a suggested retail price of $99.
At times, this whiskey can feel like a work in progress; one wonders if it'd be more composed at either younger or older age statements. However, nice interplay between sweet and spicy components lead into a noteworthy finish I wanted to revisit several times.
Having long been a fan of Heaven Hill's wheated offerings, this takes the cake with little effort. The unique corn seed varietal integration here does wonders to highlight the wheat characteristics, resulting in a classic offering.
