Heaven Hill Distillery has announced its 2026 Heaven Hill Grain to Glass lineup. This year’s collection features three limited-release Wheated Bourbons, offering a closer look at wheat’s role in shaping flavor, texture, and character.

The 2026 Specialty release features the same wheated mashbill and corn seed varietal as the Traditional release, but is fully aged in #3 char French Oak barrels for a minimum of six years.
