About the Distillery

Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc., the Bardstown, Kentucky-based holder of the world's second largest inventory of aging Bourbon whiskey, officially re-opened its newly expanded Bernheim Distillery in 2008. With markedly increased demands both domestically and internationally for Bourbon and other American Whiskeys in general, and its Evan Williams, Elijah Craig, Old Fitzgerald, Heaven Hill, Rittenhouse rye and Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey brands in particular, Heaven Hill has increased its production capacity by 40% while still maintaining the seven-generation traditional process overseen by father and son Master Distillers Parker and Craig Beam.

The expansion, which included the addition of a new grain handling system, a new mash cooker, and four new fermenters, will eventually create 15 new jobs in addition to the 34 currently employed at what is generally considered the most technologically advanced major American distillery. The expansion has increased both the square footage and the output of the distillery by approximately 40%, positioning the company well for the expected worldwide growth projected over the next five years in the American Whiskey category.
