I had a chance for all 3 of these but I passed. I just can't keep doing $100 bottles that are "good". They better be special. I will stick with $50 Green River Full Proof or $79-$89 single barrel store picks that are unique.
@@dougsowell a sales rep at total wine told me brother the other day that they may be seeing the green river become allocated soon due to high sales. I tasted the full proof blinded and I guessed it was 80-100 bucks. Blew my mind. One the most unique tasting bottles right now.
totally agree
In my area it was available in a bundle for 200 plus tax
@@Andrew_mm that’s basically a free third bottle! Awesome
@@esoterictrinitarian1990 sorry for the confusion it’s 1 bottle of your choice with another bottle that’s not grain to glass. So you’re basically getting 1 grain to glass for 200$
I enjoy the fact that you guys can dislike a product and give an honest review without trashing their name….I find that to be highly respectable. Cheers!
I was able to score the wheated version and I love it. I do wish the prices was around the $70 range. I think this series would be great at $70, but once you start going up into the $100s it feels like there are other options. Great video as usual!
This has to be the most wholesome, fun, informative, and relaxing channel on the subject. Your father/son energy is amazing.
I just picked up an Old Forester 1920 and a Green River Full Proof for $114.00. As far as rye, I’m hooked on the Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye.
Thanks for the great content!
Pikesville is a keeper!!! A rye hit that blossoms into sweetness. Dill notes can be found also.
I had a flight of these, and the rye was the standout: EXCEPTIONAL! Cheer, y’all!
And we're huge fans of you guys!!
Radar keeps coming up with some good ones 🤣👍🥃 Cheers
Nice review! At that price point glad to have your insight into each of the three bottles. Just got back from Wyoming where I tasted some of their products that are only available in Wyoming and was pleasantly surprised. I was told they grow all of their grains and use native Indian corn in the making of their whiskey. They did a bourbon/rye bottle that was excellent!
Thanks for the review. I just snagged the Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Rye a few minutes ago based on Trenton’s comments. Had to pay $129 in North Georgia.
Been waiting the reviews for these 3.
Had a chance to buy any one of those (huge HH fanboy), but I didn't pull the trigger bc I was only interested in the bourbon. I'm soooo glad I didn't pick one me up after y'all's review!!
Wow. The way y’all describe them I’m not sure if I’d grab any of them for that price. There’s a whole bunch of options for that price point.
Sweet rubbery note..... what does that mean? Another great review gents!
My Wife gave me the set for my birthday in July but I have not opened them yet , will have to get to them .... Thanks
Awesome video review as always. I had the opportunity to try all three of these bottles at a Heaven Hill whiskey tasting event at my local liquor store. These ended up being the mystery bottles and they had just started to arrive in MA. If I had to rank these bottles from first to third I would say wheated, bourbon, and then rye. The wheated had the most flavor in my opinion and was the sweetest. The bourbon reminded me of a younger and higher proof Heaven Hill BiB 7 yr. Similar in taste but with a little bit of ethanol in the end. The rye was really easy to drink. I did find it to be kind of bland and less spicy than most ryes. The finish was nice and sweet though.
Nearby county does a monthly allocated bourbon drop. I went to a location that had the bourbon and Rye; although I was low enough in line to get both, your review helped me opt out of the bourbon. I went home with the Rye and OWA 107 feeling good about saving 40+ dollars
Looking for that rye! Any good stores to hunt for single barrels or other good finds in Indianapolis?
Love a distillery that labels their bottles with open transparency giving as much information as possible makes all the difference choosing a brand for me.
On the shelf at Target stores around Indy for $99, got to sample all three this weekend and was not impressed for the price point. To many other good bottles at a lower price point
Here we have yet another special edition that will be hard to find and will get marked up. This looks interesting, but the price does seem a little high. For true grain to glass whisky, there are options from craft distillery. Frey Ranch makes some great stuff, and they have managed to keep their prices reasonable.
Thanks for the review! Swirly
Great video. I am a Heaven Hill fan, and want one or two (I’ve heard elsewhere that the wheat and rye are good) but as others have said, the price is just a bit much for me.
Your assessment matches what I've already heard in my local communities. People seem to prefer the old standby BIB to the Grain to Glass straight bourbon. The rye seems to be more well-received. I'd love to find one of those.
enjoy your videos! thank you guys!
I was able to luckily pick one of the wheaters up in WI while on a trip back around the 4th of July. Very big fan of it
May I ask where? I haven’t seen these anywhere in WI yet.
@@bf13137 downtown Shewano at a Wine bar and liquor store. They only had one of each
@@Gzickgraf thanks for the info! Unfortunately Shewano is 140 miles or so from me. I’ll keep my eyes peeled though. Cheers!
@@bf13137 best of luck! I’ve been seeing the bottles posted on more vids and in bourbon groups now. Hope you find one
Yep its quite good I agree
Bought 2 of the 3 in Terre Haute IN for $115 each. Store didn’t have one version. Haven’t opened them yet. Interested for sure.
Just bought the bourbon and rye in Massachusetts for $99.00 a bottle. Looking forward to trying them soon.
Love the bottles and transparency. Wish they were a bit more affordable. I don't know if they're in stores here in NC, but they show up at $99.95 on the state price list. I'd probably be willing to try the wheated bourbon, but unlikely I'd buy all three.
Heaven Hill hasn't been in "my wheelhouse" as of late...so I will save the $300 (plus whatever crazy mark ups that will no doubt arise) this time around! Redwood Empire Cask Strengths would come in about 2/3 the price and fit the bill for me!
Have you guys tasted, tested Jimmy red corn whiskey/ bourbon? Allot of arcs and history to this.
Two out of three ain’t bad haha I’ll be on the lookout. Great reviews. I need to find a copy of the mint map ☺️
Great review!!! The wheater is the star of the show for me but the rye is right there. The 107 bourbon is tasty but not worth the price which was 95.99 each in MD. Given it will be a yearly release it'll be interesting to see how they handle the grain next year.
Kurt states one of the great axioms of life...."More cream and butter is always better."
Whiskey TV has an episode that features Heaven Hill and these unique bottles. There’s also an episode featuring the famous Harry that we’ve always heard and wondered about. Thanks for the great content.
How fitting. My partner and I just celebrated our anniversary today doing the Bottled In Bond tour at Heaven Hill today, and during that tour, I saw a corn field right next to the famous Warehouse Y and asked "is that corn yours?" Our tour guide explained these experimental grain to glass releases and said "...but it's over a hundred bucks for 4 year old (or so) whiskey, so..."
The Evan Williams Experience yesterday was truly fantastic, btw.
Cheers, everybody. 🥃🥃
$99 at my local store, Costco had them for $85 and the wheated went fast. I've got the Rye and enjoy it, friend has the wheated and I can't wait to try it.
The rye is the best of the three by far
$89.99 each for all 3 I'm DFW area. Great video. Problem with this offering is that you sound pleased but not wowed.
Who is that jazz trio? I really liked it. I also like your channel.
Drank a couple HH BIB in my journey and for $50 it’s great Not sure I would pull the trigger on one of these for $100+
Great review. I feel like the only reason I would pay for these is to make them a bottle share bottle. Bring them to my group and let others try em so they can check the box and move on.
A few years ago BT expanded their Benchmark brand which now has a lot of variations at a good price. Only complaint is that you can only find a few of the variants at any one store. I don’t think I have ever seen all of them in one place. Same with Jack Daniels.
They've already released the Hardin's Creek Corn Whiskey I believe - back in June (at least at the distillery)
I own a micro distillery in South Carolina would love to send y’all a corn 🌽 bourbon 🥃 from yellow field corn
I got the pleasure to try the bourbon, and the rye. I find that a price right around $70 would be OK but not the $100. They were both excellent though.
My favorite Heaven Hill product is Rittenhouse Rye bottled in bond. About $25 to $30.
You guys should revisit Elijah Toasted. Cam from Drums and Drams said his newer bottle is much better compared to the old batches, and I personally love the pour, it's one of my favorites, but I am a newer bourbon guy. So maybe the batches in the past were not as good?
I was so excited for these when I saw the announcement. Then I saw the price.
I’d certainly get the rye once for that price it’s pushing a pass but the other two probably not. Pretty sure I won’t see these in my area but I’ll keep an eye out. Buying 100 + bottles is getting to be harder for me to justify. I still haven’t pulled the trigger on the Old Overholt 10 at 99 because of price I’m retired and though I enjoy whiskey I don’t have an unlimited cash flow so I have to be selective. Big fan of this concept for sure showcasing farmers is very important and it’s good to see Heaven hill doing this. Enjoy!!🥃🥃🥃
I have never spent that much on a bottle aside from buying a gift for someone. For me, if I want to get fancy I get like a New Riff regular and call it a day. It's delicious! How much am I supposed to enjoy whiskey? $100? It seems difficult to imagine it's more than twice as good.
The wheated version is worth it to me. So unique. Every sip is something new.
Revisit this in two weeks.. neck pour is real
I think the wheated is great. Would recommend even at that price point.
Absolutely love that Wheater
Wheater EXCEPTIONAL
I actually believe Heaven Hill is one of if not the youngest ‘legacy’ distilleries. They started in 1935
Was looking forward to this one
For a good grain to glass bottle, I'd recommend trying Filibuster Single Barrel, Single Estate out of VA. Local grain, water on-site, all transparent and identified on the bottle... Cask strength for under $60. C'mon. If you need more convincing, their BiB won best non-Kentucky small batch bourbon in the 2023 World Wiskies Awards.
Why would I get these when I can get the ECBP for $80 and Larceny BP for $65? I prefer Bourbon Bill's review of these 3. He made solid points on the price, age statement, and availability vs. other better valued and tasting from the same distillery.
Love the rye. Got it for 100$, I think it's worth it.
Want be buying those that is out of my willing to pay range.
I so interest in investing in that Special Bottle.... This is so much fun...
It is time to do a tasting note episode with various levels of molasses, cream corn, stone fruit, spices, etc. Trent needs to widen his palette.
I have all three got them for $115 apiece and I believe they’re seven years old
I picked up the rye based on what people told me about a month ago
Hooray heaven hill video
My local store in Minneapolis has for $108/each (plus, you need to buy a store pick or two to buy it). Seems like a marketing gimmick to me. Thanks for the review!
I know I'll sound cheap, but I really enjoy the Jim Beam Black label 7 yr. for $18.00 at SAM'S..... I still save Old Forester 1910 and Forester Double oak for my Special friends.
If somebody wants to buy these for me at $109, that would be great! Is it this pricey because it is that good or just because of the marketing label "grain to glass"?
Hoping to find the Wheater
Had it last night and it's quite delicious
Can you review Calumet bourbon please
I second this. Do a 8, 10, 12,14, 15 and 16yr old blind.
@@cjackson3479 I've been asking for a month now hahaha 🤣
I'm for New Zealand 100 for this bottle is cheap. These bottles 220 minimum from around my way. Would love to try it one day.
That highway robbery… not worth >$120 IMHO
Isn’t every whiskey grain to glass? I’d buy the Wheated to try at MSRP.
I'll pass. There's plenty of great options at half that price.
💯
My store wants 220/bottle. I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger. I almost got the rye as I'm on that rye train right now.
It will get verrrrrry dusty at that price haha
I've had the chance to get these for $89 about 3 times since release and have passed every time.
I don't know how old Heaven Hill is, but it is the largest family owned distillery in the United States. It's still in the hands of the Shapira family instead of one of the gigantic international conglomerates.
I do wish those who write promotional copy would get original. *Everybody* uses the phrase "grain to glass," and it's getting very hackneyed. How about "start to finish," "delivery to bottle," "farm to you," or *anything* that doesn't copy everyone else? And I'll stop ranting about one of my pet peeves now. 🙂
10:08 I would say that if they're trying to highlight that corn they're doing it in a strange way. If I wanted to emphasize the corn in a mash bill I wouldn't reduce the percentage down to a barely legal bourbon - I'd boost the corn percentage higher than is usual in a bourbon mash bill.
Had all three of these in a tasting flight this week. I liked all of them, in particular the rye. I like that a major distillery is doing a grain to glass series working with small farmers and heritage grains, I like the label and the bottle design. And IMO, none of these are worth anywhere close to $100. Hopefully, Heaven Hill will realize these offerings need to be repriced at $50-$60.
I ran across this several times and I even saw some stores trying to do bottle bundles on them to try and sell some HH overstock. Personally I didn't see a special allocated product to justify the price point. The age wasn't over the top. I will just buy a Heaven Hill 7 year bottled in bond for 40 bucks at Costco. I have heard the wheated and the rye are pretty good but it's a pass for me. Mark it down to 65-70 bucks like a ECBP and I would bite.
Laird’s is the oldest distillery in America
Creamed corn…open a can of it, heat it up and eat it. Really good with pork chops.
I got the Wheated version and LOVE IT!
I saw the Rye one for 149.99$ at a local store. I passed on it.
Buffalo Trace needs a few years just to catch up with demand. They don't need to waste time on more new impossible to find products. lol
saw the three for $125 each and lol'd as I got myself an $80 Elijah Craig 130proof instead.
35% rye on the mashbill. That's a little bit more spicey the Wild Turkey.
This is all marketing. In my area we have a grain to glass distillery called Field and Sound. It's on Long Island, NY. They use local farms for everything and then sell the waste to Long Island vineyards who use it for their grape vines. Their bottles sell between $38 - $50. I've seen plenty of other small distilleries throughout the country doing grain to glass. Kilchoman Scotch whisky in Islay even uses the tag line 'the farm distillery' because they own their fields and grow their barley. They aren't selling their regular releases for $110 either. Heaven Hill is pricing these way way too high. I won't be buying
I've seen Field and Sound at my local Total Wine! I do have their bourbon, just haven't tried it yet. How is it?
@@allenpiazza1409 I liked enough to replace after a bottle kill. It's very round, rich and easy to drink. The wheated bourbon is also good but not as good as the regular bottled-in-bond
@GOTAisMe nice! Looking forward to it. I've been eyeing their American Single Malt too.
how is the Field and Sound? I've seen it on the shelves. which one would you suggest?
@@Subourbon The regular BIB bourbon with the blue label. I have not had the cask strength or the ASM. The wheat and rye are good but that straight bourbon is the standout of the of those 3.
Moore & Selliger 1870 now Heaven Hill
Marketing. Marketing.
What’s SLB?
Snagged the rye for 89.99
Great price!
@@kurtludington5986 yep! One of my contacts locally brought it from the back of the store for me. I’m thinking about trading it for something else though. 🤔
Had the rye. It was good but didn't justify the $100 i paid.
I dont like change. I keep going back to the old standards. WT101, rare breed, 4 roses single, Woodford 2x oak, OF, etc. I like taking one shot for taste.
Let’s go
You want grain to glass? Just order from Frey Ranch - great whiskey and a better price point. And for $10 shipping it’s delivered to my door.
I picked up all three. They are good, but $100 each is a little steep for these. 🥃
I've only purchased the Rye. I have not cracked it yet but was wondering if these were worth the triple digit price.
These bottles are the perfect reason to never pay over MSRP. That is the max on these.
i got a Chick-Fil-A copycat recipe for nuggets. the secret is marinating in dill pickle juice.
Fancy Heaven Hill is still so alien to me. In college Heaven Hill was the cheap of the cheap at like 20-30 for a handle. I think they rebranded their cheap stuff now but for me the name is still associated with rot gut
Get an Evan Williams Master Blend. It will change your mind about the brand.
Trent loves some Chick-fil-A.
