Grain to Glass Bourbon image
Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon
Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon is known for a complex profile featuring rich caramel and butterscotch notes, complemented by toasted pecan and peanut aromas, and a smooth, full-bodied palate with hints of vanilla ice cream, cardamom-spiced apple pie, and warm oak on the finish. The bourbon uses a unique, high-starch corn varietal and is aged in Heaven Hill's historic Cox's Creek Rickhouse, resulting in a well-balanced, non-chill filtered expression bottled at 107 proof.

Tasting Notes
Nose: A sweet and spicy aroma offers notes of caramel sauce, baked apples, and vanilla, backed by a presence of toasted oak and nutty undertones.
Palate: The high-rye mashbill asserts itself with a wave of baking spices and black pepper, complemented by sweet flavors of brown sugar, dried fruit, and toasted oak.
Finish: A medium-long finish leaves a trail of warm, peppery spice, caramelized sweetness, and a pleasant, lingering toastiness.
New Riff Backsetter Bourbon
Meet our latest riff on Kentucky's wondrous whiskey traditions: introducing New Riff Backsetter Bourbon and Rye Whiskey, an ongoing exploration of the deep truths and deeper mysteries of the sour mash method. Our Backsetters - one Bourbon and one Rye - released as a pair of absolutely unprecedented whiskeys are, like all New Riff whiskeys, crafted with the traditional, time honored Sour Mash Kentucky Regimen. Wherein a portion of grain "backset" from a prior distillation is added to the mash of a present batch. And they utilize the exact same mash bills as New Riff's award winning standard Bourbon and Rye recipes. What's different is exactly what they were sour mashed with. For this opening Backsetter salvo, we have used backset collected from a distillation of peat-smoked malted barley, which lends a wonderfully smoky cast to the whiskeys. The resultant smoky flavor is hauntingly unique, with layers of peat enveloping spicy rich Rye and Bourbon, respectively.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich oak at the forefront, before a smokiness develops alongside typical confection. It opens considerably with water, yielding a broad field of grain, roasty-nutty confection and rye spice amid a smoky, smoldering backdrop.
Palate: Remarkably soft-textured at entry, with the peat more immediate than in the nose. Juicy and zesty, it quickly develops a spicy rye top note at midpalate join by smoke, oak, sweet corn, and grassy rye.
Finish: The finish pings between smoky peat and peppery-clove rye note.
