Unlike Maker’s Mark’s traditional wheated bourbon, Star Hill Farm is a corn-free whiskey designed to highlight the character of wheat itself. Each annual release is intentionally unique, with changing grain varieties and blending decisions reflecting the harvest rather than a fixed house style. The 2026 edition expands upon the inaugural release by incorporating soft red winter wheat alongside hard red and hard white wheat, creating a richer and more layered whiskey while maintaining the brand’s commitment to regenerative agriculture. Like its predecessor, it carries the Estate Whiskey certification, recognizing that the whiskey is produced entirely from locally sourced grains under strict sustainability standards. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1591\"\u003eThe cask program consists of a masterful blend of seven- and eight-year-old whiskeys matured in new, charred American oak barrels and bottled at natural cask strength without chill filtration. The blend is composed of two distinct mash bills—one made entirely from malted wheat and another consisting of 70% wheat and 30% malted barley—resulting in a final grain composition of 62% malted wheat, 27% wheat, and 11% malted barley. Bottled at a robust 116.4 proof (58.2% ABV), the whiskey showcases remarkable depth while remaining balanced and expressive. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1593\" data-end=\"2076\"\u003eOn the nose, expect inviting aromas of molasses, mission fig, toasted cinnamon, orange peel, ripe pear, buttery shortbread, and warm baking spices. The palate is rich and creamy with layers of candied citrus, honey, vanilla, chocolate-covered cherries, orchard fruit, ginger, and toasted grain, all supported by a silky wheat sweetness and vibrant spice. The finish is long and warming, revealing dark chocolate, pecan, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and lingering fig with elegant oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2078\" data-end=\"2097\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2078\" data-end=\"2097\"\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2099\" data-end=\"2823\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2099\" data-end=\"2152\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2101\" data-end=\"2114\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eMaker's Mark\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2153\" data-end=\"2223\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2155\" data-end=\"2170\"\u003eExpression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Star Hill Farm Blended American Whiskey 2026 Release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2224\" data-end=\"2268\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2226\" data-end=\"2245\"\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Wheat Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2269\" data-end=\"2313\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2271\" data-end=\"2283\"\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual Limited Edition (2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2314\" data-end=\"2360\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2316\" data-end=\"2324\"\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend of 7- and 8-year-old whiskeys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2361\" data-end=\"2492\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2363\" data-end=\"2380\"\u003eCask Program:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matured in new charred American oak; blend of 100% malted wheat whiskey and 70% wheat\/30% malted barley whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2493\" data-end=\"2564\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2495\" data-end=\"2517\"\u003eGrain Composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62% malted wheat, 27% wheat, 11% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2565\" data-end=\"2581\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2567\" data-end=\"2575\"\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58.2%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2582\" data-end=\"2600\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2584\" data-end=\"2594\"\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 116.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2601\" data-end=\"2626\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2603\" data-end=\"2619\"\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700 mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2627\" data-end=\"2656\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2629\" data-end=\"2652\"\u003eNon-Chill Filtered:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2657\" data-end=\"2692\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2659\" data-end=\"2688\"\u003eEstate Whiskey Certified:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2731\" data-end=\"2823\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2733\" data-end=\"2750\"\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited annual release nationwide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Star Hill Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47743086329961,"sku":"085246503263","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/2188\/files\/starhill-2026.jpg?v=1783012669","url":"https:\/\/vintagekosher.com\/products\/star-hill-farm-blended-american-whiskey-2026-release-6-yr-1164","provider":"Vintage Kosher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
