Heaven Hill Grain-to-Glass Rye Whiskey 123.2 Proof

"Each year, our master distiller works with Beck’s Hybrids to select a new corn seed varietal. That corn seed varietal is proudly displayed on the label, along with the unique mashbill that is different from our traditional Bourbon Whiskey mashbill.

61.75% ABV, 700 ml

Typically, Whiskey is made with low-starch corn because it produces a higher yield. However, waxy (or high-starch) corn results in better alcohol content. Each year, our master distiller works with Beck’s Hybrids to find the perfect non-GMO corn seed varietal: one with higher-starch content that grows best in Central Kentucky. It can take years, or even decades, to create these hybrids, selecting the best traits of each corn plant and ensuring the resulting hybrid is ideal for Whiskey-making in Kentucky.

Beck’s 6158 was our selection for our 2024 releases
