Produced in a grain-to-glass process at Heaven Hill, it showcases careful sourcing and distillation steps that emphasize consistency and character, all rooted in the United States.

Producer Information: Heaven Hill Distillery

Heaven Hill Distillery is based in Bardstown, Kentucky, a central hub of American bourbon production. Founded in 1935 in the wake of Prohibition by a group of family-owned distillers and local businessmen, the company built its identity around resuming whiskey production with a focus on quality and heritage. Its production approach blends traditional methods with modern quality control: aging in new charred oak barrels, careful grain selection, and a range of distilling processes that support a broad portfolio while maintaining consistent character across its core brands.

Beyond its flagship bourbons, Heaven Hill’s broader portfolio includes a spectrum of whiskies and related spirits. Notable lines include Elijah Craig and Evan Williams bourbons, the Larceny small-batch bourbon, Henry McKenna single barrel, and the Pikesville Rye, along with Rittenhouse Rye in some markets. The company also pursues expression-led releases, limited editions, and bottled-in-bond offerings, showcasing versatility within bourbon and rye categories while extending into other distilled spirits.
