Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon (2025 Release) is a masterclass in agricultural transparency. As the second edition of this groundbreaking series, the 2025 bottling focuses on Beck’s 6225—a specific corn hybrid grown by Peterson Farms in Nelson County, just miles from the distillery’s Bardstown campus. Distilled in 2018 and matured for six years, this expression eschews traditional high-corn recipes for a spicy, 35% rye mashbill that highlights the structural synergy between single-varietal grain and Kentucky timber.

The 2025 Grain to Glass Bourbon is a high-conviction acquisition for collectors who prioritize technical transparency and "terroir-driven" spirits. As the second release in the series, it solidifies Heaven Hill’s commitment to grain traceability—a movement that has seen significant value appreciation in recent years. Following the 2025 World Whiskies Awards (where the sister Rye expression won Best American Rye), demand for the entire Grain to Glass vertical has increased exponentially. Every bottle offered here is verified for pristine label integrity and includes the signature farm-traceability markings. This is an essential cornerstone for any modern American whiskey library.

To fully isolate the cardamom apple pie and floral vanilla notes, enjoy this bourbon neat or with a single large clear cube. The 105-proof delivery and high-rye spice provide a robust structural framework that performs exceptionally well in a Manhattan or Luxury Old Fashioned, where the cinnamon and ginger notes act as a chiseled counterpoint to aromatic bitters. A few drops of water are recommended to broaden the pecan and caramel corn nose.
