Heaven Hill "Grain to Glass" Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey - 107 proof (53.5% ABV)
$120.00 USD
Heaven Hill "Grain to Glass" Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The term "grass wicked football" appears to be a phonetic misinterpretation of the official name and marketing materials. This specific expression is the first annual release in the series, bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV).
Key Features
- Proof: 107 (53.5% ABV).
- Age: Aged for at least six years.
- Mash Bill: A unique high-rye mash bill of 52% corn, 35% rye, and 13% malted barley. This differs from Heaven Hill's traditional bourbon mash bills.
- Grain Varietal: The corn used is the specific Beck's 6158 varietal, grown locally by Peterson Farms in Nelson County, Kentucky.
- Availability: A limited annual release, with the first edition released in June 2024.
Tasting Notes
The high rye content and unique corn varietal give this expression a distinct and complex profile:
- Nose: Aromas of caramel, vanilla, and orange candy mingle with notes of sandalwood, cinnamon, and a hint of milk chocolate.
- Palate: The palate offers a medium-bodied mouthfeel with flavors of black pepper, rye spice, and cinnamon, balanced by notes of butterscotch, sweet oak, and a touch of cherry or pear.
- Finish: The finish is of medium length, with lingering notes of sweet oak, caramel, and a mild rye spice, along with hints of tobacco leaf and citrus on the exhale.
