Heaven Hill Grain to Glass 105

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Bold, warm, and built for slow sipping, Heaven Hill Grain to Glass 105 brings the depth of a high-proof American whiskey with a polished, expressive feel. Bottled at 52.5% ABV, it reflects Heaven Hill’s grain-forward approach, with production traits centered on carefully selected grain, traditional distillation, oak maturation, and bottling in the United States.

Expect layers of caramel, toasted oak, baking spice, vanilla, and roasted grain, with enough proof to carry a long, warming finish. With BBQ ribs, its sweetness and spice stand up to smoke, char, and tangy sauce, while dark chocolate brings out deeper cocoa, oak, and brown sugar tones in the glass.

Producer Information: Heaven Hill Distillery

Heaven Hill Distillery is based in Bardstown, Kentucky, with major maturation, bottling, and visitor operations tied to the heart of Bourbon country. The company was founded in 1935, shortly after Prohibition, by the Shapira family and a group of Kentucky investors, beginning with a focus on straight bourbon whiskey. Still family owned, Heaven Hill emphasizes traditional American whiskey production: grain selection, sour mash fermentation, copper distillation, new charred oak barrel aging, and long-term maturation in Kentucky rickhouses where seasonal temperature changes shape flavor, color, and texture.

Beyond its core whiskey identity, Heaven Hill manages a wide spirits portfolio that includes rye whiskey, wheat whiskey, corn whiskey, bottled-in-bond releases, brandy, rum, vodka, gin, tequila, liqueurs, and ready-to-drink cocktails. Its well-known labels include Elijah Craig, Evan Williams, Larceny, Rittenhouse Rye, Bernheim Original, Old Fitzgerald, Henry McKenna, Pikesville Rye, Christian Brothers Brandy, Burnett’s Vodka, Admiral Nelson’s Rum, and Hpnotiq. This range gives the producer a strong presence across American whiskey, value spirits, premium bottlings, and cocktail-focused categories.
