Product Description

Introducing the Heaven Hill Grain to Glass® Rye – Chinquapin Specialty Barrel 2025 Limited Edition (700 mL), a truly distinctive expression from the renowned Bardstown, Kentucky distillery. This limited-edition rye marks the inaugural release of the Grain to Glass Specialty Barrel series, where every step—from seed to sip—is highly intentional and transparent.

For this 2025 release, Heaven Hill selected a specially grown corn varietal (Beck’s 6225) from regional farms, paired it with a richly structured rye-forward mashbill (63% rye, 24% corn, 13% malted barley), and aged the whiskey exclusively in hand-selected Chinquapin oak barrels—a seldom-used species of American white oak noted for its elevated vanillin content and deeply layered wood-influence. This rye was matured for six years, barreled at 107 proof and bottled non-chill-filtered at 53.5% ABV (107 proof).

The result is a premium, collector-worthy rye whiskey that celebrates craft, provenance and barrel innovation. Each bottle features an embossed “Family Owned Since 1935” marker, full mashbill disclosure, corn seed varietal, distillation & release years, and a tax strip highlighting the Chinquapin oak aging. Released in November 2025, this expression is available only in limited quantities and is designed for the serious whiskey enthusiast.

Perfect for sipping slowly, this rye bridges bold spice with refined wood-driven sweetness and nutty complexity.
