Heaven Hill Distillery

Founded by the five Shapira brothers in 1935 after the repeal of Prohibition, Heaven Hill is the nation's largest independent, family-owned producer and marketer of distilled spirits products. Based in Bardstown, Kentucky, it is the second largest holder of Bourbon whiskey in the world. In the open-rick warehouses where the world's finest Bourbon ages in charred white oak, you can almost feel the presence of legends like William Heavenhill, the company's namesake, and Kentucky's Bourbon pioneers Evan Williams and the Rev. Elijah Craig.
