Heaven Hill’s story began with our family in Bardstown in 1935. Five brothers, retailers by trade, took a chance on a small distillery, filled their first barrel, and then did the hardest thing in Whiskey: they waited. That decision began a story that would be tested more than once over the decades, including by a fire that nearly ended everything. Through it all, our family kept looking ahead, eventually bringing distilling home to Bardstown again.
In the first video in the three-part series, we begin with that early bet on Bourbon, and follow the moments that helped shape Heaven Hill across generations. It’s a chance to revisit where we started, what carried us forward, and the traditions we continue today.
There’s more to the story in Whisky Magazine’s full feature, including a closer look at the family decisions and turning points behind Heaven Hill’s first 90 years.
