Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon 2026 Release is a single-vintage Kentucky straight wheated bourbon that traces its whiskey from a specific corn varietal to the bottle, at 107.8 proof.
Part of Heaven Hill's Bourbon Heritage Collection, the Grain to Glass series highlights the agricultural origin of the whiskey — tracing every step from the specific seed varietal grown by local farming partners to the final pour. Distilled in 2019 and matured until its 2026 release, this vintage is made with Beck's 6269 corn and a custom wheated mash bill of 52% corn, 35% wheat, and 13% malted barley. The heavy wheat share yields a soft, sweet, approachable profile, and at 107.8 proof it stays full-bodied without overpowering the grain-forward nuances.

Finish: Long, elegant, and gently warming, with sweet vanilla, toasted almond, and lingering honey.
