On Tues., Feb. 10, Heaven Hill Brands, the nation’s largest independent, family-owned and operated distilled spirits company, will celebrate filling its seven millionth barrel of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey with a ceremony.
Local dignitaries will join Heaven Hill officials and Master Distillers to fill and “bung off” the milestone barrel. Participants will then raise a glass of vintage Heaven Hill Bourbon made within a year of the company’s founding in 1935. This year marks Heaven Hill’s 80th Anniversary.
Heaven Hill is the only Kentucky-based, family-owned company to have filled so many barrels.
In keeping with the celebration, the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience in Louisville will offer its Traditional Tour for a discounted rate of $7 and the Bourbon Heritage Center in Bardstown will offer its Mashbill Tour for $7, as well.
Location:
Heaven Hill Distilleries Cistern Facility, 1311 Gilkey Run Rd. Bardstown, KY 40004
Adjacent to the Bourbon Heritage Center, SW Corner of the Heaven Hill Campus Park in the Bourbon Heritage Center lot
