Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon 2026 Release is a single-vintage Kentucky straight wheated bourbon bottled at 107.8 proof, distilled in 2019 from a custom mash bill of 52% corn, 35% wheat, and 13% malted barley. Made with Beck's 6269 corn grown by local farming partners, this bottling delivers a soft, sweet, grain-forward profile that wheated bourbon fans look for, with enough proof to keep things full-bodied and interesting.
Heaven Hill has been a cornerstone of Kentucky straight bourbon since 1935, and the Grain to Glass series is part of their Bourbon Heritage Collection, built to spotlight the agricultural story behind every bottle. Rather than sourcing generic grain, Heaven Hill traces this release back to a specific corn varietal and a specific harvest, giving whiskey drinkers a real look at how terroir and mash bill choices shape the final pour.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon different from other Heaven Hill bourbons?
This release is a single-vintage bourbon tied to a specific corn varietal, Beck's 6269, and a custom wheated mash bill, rather than the standard Heaven Hill recipe. That traceability from seed to bottle sets it apart as a limited, small-batch expression within the Bourbon Heritage Collection.
Is this bourbon good for cocktails or better neat?
It works well both ways. The soft wheated profile and 107.8 proof give it enough backbone for an Old Fashioned or Manhattan while still being rewarding poured neat or over a single large cube.
How does this compare to other wheated bourbons like Weller?
If you enjoy Weller or other wheated bourbons for their soft, sweet character, this Heaven Hill release offers a similar approachable style with its own distinct honeycomb and baked peach notes, plus the added story of a single-vintage, farm-traced mash bill.
Is this a limited release?
Yes, this is a single-vintage, limited 2026 release from Heaven Hill's Grain to Glass series, so quantities are finite and it's worth grabbing while it's available.
