Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

• Q: What does "Grain to Glass" mean?

  • A: "Grain to Glass" is a philosophy that emphasizes the traceability and local sourcing of all ingredients. In this case, Heaven Hill can trace the bourbon in the bottle back to the specific seed varietal planted and the family farm that cultivated the grain in Kentucky.

• Q: How is this different from other Heaven Hill bourbons like Elijah Craig?

  • A: This bourbon features a unique, high-rye mashbill (52% corn, 35% rye, 13% malted barley) that is different from Heaven Hill's traditional bourbon recipe (78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley). It also highlights a specific, locally grown corn varietal, making it a distinct, terroir-driven product.

• Q: What is the "Family Farms First" initiative?

  • A: "Family Farms First" is a program launched by Heaven Hill in conjunction with the Grain to Glass release. A portion of the proceeds supports a partnership with Farm Rescue, a non-profit organization that provides essential support to family farms facing major hardships, ensuring they can continue their operations.

• Q: Is the 2025 release different from the 2024 release?

  • A: Yes. Each annual release in the Grain to Glass series will feature a different corn seed varietal. The 2025 release uses Beck's 6225 corn, while the 2024 inaugural release used Beck's 6158 corn, resulting in distinct flavor profiles for each vintage.

• Q: What does "Non-Chill Filtered" mean?

  • A: Non-chill filtered means the bourbon has not been cooled and finely filtered before bottling. This process, when skipped, allows natural fatty acids and flavorful oils to remain in the whiskey, which can lead to a richer mouthfeel and more robust flavor.

• Q: How can I purchase a bottle of the Heaven Hill Grain to Glass 2025 release?

  • A: This is a limited, allocated release. We recommend contacting our preferred retail partner, Nestor Liquor, to inquire about their allocation, availability, and purchasing process for this highly sought-after bourbon.
