Tasting Notes – 2025 Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon Review

Let’s taste it:

🛏 Rested: 15 minutes in a Glencairn

👉🏻 Nose: Mildly sweet dark cherries, light oak, medium dark caramel, a touch of tart orange citrus, a hint of wintergreen, and a slight dry grain character. Alcohol vapor is appropriate for the proof.
👉🏻 Taste: Moderately sweet with a light syrupy feel; cherries, sweet caramel, mild oak, and growing black pepper.
👉🏻 Finish: Moderate black pepper spice, mild tannins and dry oak, hints of grape soda, and mild barrel char, later on. Fairly long with lingering black pepper, grape soda, and char, leaving a pleasant warmth.

Summary – 2025 Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon Review

This bourbon offers a very nice mix of sweet fruit and caramel up front, with a touch of tart citrus and oak rounding it out nicely. The palate follows suit, becoming a bit sweeter with a light syrupy character. As the finish develops, it grows spicier with a touch of barrel char, while the fruit turns slightly toward grape soda—adding an enjoyable contrast. The relatively mild, yet noticeable, oak throughout may be a little more prominent than expected for its age, but it balances well with the other flavors.

Conclusion

Overall, 2025 Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon is a very enjoyable and easy-to-drink pour that should appeal to those who enjoy an initially fruit-forward bourbon that becomes sweeter on the palate and turns a bit spicier toward the end.
