Heaven Hill Grain to Glass represents our long-standing commitment to craft, transparency and quality. Each year, we select a specific corn seed varietal, which we proudly display on the label alongside the unique mashbill. The corn seed varietal chosen for the second edition was Beck’s 6225.

1. Corn Seed Varietal

Each year, our master distiller works with Beck’s Hybrids to choose a new seed with varying attributes that grows best in Kentucky soil. We proudly display the specific corn seed used for each annual edition on the label.

2. Distilled

The distillation year or the year the product was made at our Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky is shown on every label.

3. Released

Our Whiskey is aged until our master distiller determines it’s ready for bottling. The year it is released is noted on the label for each edition.

4. Mashbill

Each product features a unique mashbill, different from our traditional Bourbon mashbill in its higher rye content.
