Chinquapin Oak. Rye Whiskey. Heaven Hill — the Specialty Barrel Series expression aging estate-grown Heaven Hill rye whiskey in Chinquapin oak — a rare American oak species (Quercus muehlenbergii) with more open grain structure than standard American white oak, producing more intensive tannin extraction and a distinct flavor profile.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChinquapin oak is one of the rarest barrel species used in American whiskey production — distinct from the Quercus alba (white oak) that the vast majority of American bourbon and rye uses by law. Its more open grain structure allows faster and more intensive tannin extraction, producing more assertive wood influence per unit of aging time. Applied to Heaven Hill’s estate-grown rye, the Chinquapin oak creates a version of the G2G rye with amplified wood character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heaven Hill, Bardstown, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProgram:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grain to Glass, Specialty Barrel Series\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chinquapin oak (Quercus muehlenbergii)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/rye\"\u003erye whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Chinquapin oak?\u003c\/strong\u003e Quercus muehlenbergii — a rare American oak species with more open grain structure than standard white oak.
