Heaven Hill Declares 2026 'Year of Wheat' for Grain to Glass Program

Week of June 1, 2026

Heaven Hill Distillery has unveiled its 2026 Grain to Glass lineup, centering entirely on wheated bourbon expressions. The Kentucky operation is calling it the official 'Year of Wheat' with three limited releases planned. The focus on wheat as the flavoring grain represents a shift from their typical varied annual program. Heaven Hill's wheat-forward approach should appeal to those who appreciate the softer, sweeter profile wheat brings to bourbon.
