Heaven Hill Grain to Glass 6 Year 2025 Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 2025 is a limited-edition triumph of transparency and craftsmanship, tracing every drop from Beck’s Hybrids 6225 corn grown on Kentucky’s Peterson Farms to its six-year aging in Cox’s Creek rickhouses and non-chill filtered bottling at bold 105.2 proof. This second-edition rye boasts a high-rye mashbill of 63% rye, 24% corn, and 13% malted barley—elevating spice over Heaven Hill’s traditional recipes—with aromas of toasted oak and almonds unfolding into creamy orange marmalade, chocolate nutmeg, white pepper, and honeyed warmth on a long, charred finish. Whiskey enthusiasts crave it for its authentic farm-to-bottle story, award-winning complexity (Gold at 2024 Beverage Tasting Institute, Best American Rye at 2025 World Whiskies Awards), and unfiltered intensity at around $100 SRP.

Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Kentucky Straight Rye 2025, the second edition, features a distinctive mashbill of 63% rye, 20% corn (Beck’s Hybrids 6225 varietal from Peterson Farms in Kentucky), and 13% malted barley—higher rye than their traditional rye. Distilled in 2018 at Bernheim Distillery, it entered barrels at 107 proof, aged over six years in Cox’s Creek rickhouses (W5 and W6), and bottled non-chill filtered at barrel proof 105.2 (52.6% ABV). This transparent "seed to bottle" approach highlights local sourcing and precise craftsmanship.

Toasted oak, almond, black tea, and vibrant orange zest greet the senses, promising bold complexity.

Oak and cinnamon dominate, layered with black tea, orange zest, creamy orange marmalade, chocolate, nutmeg, white pepper, and honeyed sweetness.

Warm and lingering on the medium side, with black tea, orange zest, peppermint hints, oak, and vanilla.

This limited-edition rye stands out with its elevated rye content for intensified spice and boldness, paired with a specific Kentucky corn varietal showcased on the label alongside distillation and release years. Non-chill filtered barrel proof preserves full flavor intensity, while proceeds support Farm Rescue for American farm families. Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll emphasizes its story from seed to bottle, blending tradition with innovation.

Sip neat or with a splash of water to unlock its bold rye spice and citrus layers in a Glencairn glass. Pair with grilled meats, dark chocolate, or charcuterie to complement its herbal sweetness and peppery finish. Ideal for rye enthusiasts seeking a premium, story-driven pour at around $99.99 for 700ml.
