Heaven Hill is a major producer of American whiskey founded in Bardstown, Kentucky in 1935 by the Shapira family, who still own the company today. The Shapira’s distillery, originally known as Old Heavenhill Springs, has been associated since the 1940s with the Beam family, with Earl Beam, Parker Beam and Craig Beam all serving as Master Distillers during the company’s history.

Aside from their substantial bulk whiskey and contract distilling business, Heaven Hill’s main bourbons include Evan Williams, Elijah Craig, Old Fitzgerald and Henry McKenna, alongside the Pikesville and Rittenhouse rye whiskey brands. The original Heaven Hill distillery sadly burned down in 1996, with Brown-Forman and Jim Beam stepping in to help cover supply. Heaven Hill subsequently purchased the Bernheim distillery from Diageo in 1999 and can now produce around 80 million litres of spirit per annum at full capacity.
