Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Specialty Barrel Series – Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey (Chinquapin Oak)

The Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Specialty Barrel Series embodies a deep commitment to family, quality, and craft — from seed selection and grain sourcing to distillation and aging. Every stage of production reflects the precision and care that define Heaven Hill’s legacy.

This Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey represents the first release in the new Specialty Barrel Series, which explores how unique oak varieties shape whiskey over time. Aged a minimum of six years and fully matured — not merely finished — in Chinquapin Oak barrels, this rye whiskey reveals an extraordinary depth of flavor and character.

Chinquapin Oak, a rare American white oak, imparts elevated levels of vanillin and rich wood influence, enhancing the rye’s natural spice with layers of complexity.
