Heaven Hill Grain To Glass Chinquapin Barrel 2025 Limited Edition: A High-Rye & Rare Oak Expression
Experience a bold new chapter in Heaven Hill's celebrated "Grain to Glass" series. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for the finest and rarest spirits, is honored to present the Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Chinquapin Barrel 2025 Limited Edition. This release is a fascinating study in terroir, blending a high-rye mashbill with the unique properties of Chinquapin oak.
This Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was crafted with a distinctive, spice-forward mashbill of 52% Corn, 35% Rye, and 13% Malted Barley. Distilled in 2018 and bottled in 2025 after more than six years of aging, this bourbon has had ample time to develop a profound and complex character.
The true star of this limited edition is its unique maturation. Instead of traditional American White Oak, this bourbon was aged entirely in Chinquapin oak barrels. Known for its more porous grain, Chinquapin oak imparts a different set of flavors, accelerating the maturation process and infusing the high-rye spirit with a rich, nutty, and distinctly sweet character.
Bottled at a robust 105 proof (52.5% ABV), this bourbon is full-flavored, rich, and perfectly balanced.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A decadent bouquet of deep butterscotch, caramelized crème brûlée, and toasted nuts, all lifted by a vibrant, spicy note of rye.
Palate: The 105 proof delivers a rich, creamy mouthfeel. Waves of sweet butterscotch and vanilla bean are perfectly balanced by the spicy, peppery kick from the high-rye mashbill. The Chinquapin oak adds a beautiful layer of toasted almond and walnut.
Finish: A long, warm, and satisfying finish that lingers with notes of toasted nuts, baking spices, and a final, sweet echo of crème brûlée.
This limited-edition "Grain to Glass" release is a must-have for any Heaven Hill enthusiast or bourbon collector fascinated by the art of maturation.
