High starch, higher alcohol yielding corn seed from Beck's, an Indiana based company, ultimately makes better bourbon. In the case of Heaven Hill's new Grain to Glass project, Beck's seed 6158 worked perfectly in the rolling hills and rockier soils of central Kentucky to produce a 6+yr old 107 proof, 35% rye bourbon with ripe tropical fruit and lanolin notes on the nose, followed by very soft fruit palate with loads of rye fruit spice and a butter cream vanilla soft finish.
