Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon Chinquapin Barrel 700ml

Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Chinquapin Barrel is a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon from the Grain to Glass Specialty Barrel Series, a Heaven Hill Distillery program that finishes wheated bourbon in barrels made from unusual oak species — in this case chinquapin oak, a Southern white oak variety not typically used for whiskey barrels. The wood is more porous than standard American white oak, drawing out flavor faster and giving the whiskey a distinctive character within a shorter maturation. Expect a sweeter, spicier oak profile than a standard Heaven Hill wheater, with the softness a wheated mash bill typically brings. It's a limited, collector-driven release built for bourbon fans chasing something outside the usual barrel program.

How to drink Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Chinquapin Barrel

Drink it neat to taste what the chinquapin oak actually does — that's the whole point of the release, and ice will mute the effect. Pour small and compare it against a standard wheated bourbon if you want to really notice the difference.
