Producer Information: Heaven Hill Brands

Heaven Hill Brands, founded in 1935 in Bardstown, Kentucky, emerged from the heart of bourbon country just after Prohibition ended, when five Shapira brothers partnered with a group of local investors to create a family-owned distillery rooted in traditional American whiskey-making. Their philosophy centers on preserving time-honored methods such as sour mash fermentation and natural aging in Kentucky’s unique climate, which imparts distinctive character to their spirits. Beyond their flagship bourbons and ryes crafted in the limestone-rich hills of central Kentucky, Heaven Hill also produces Elijah Craig Bourbon, Rittenhouse Rye, and Larceny Bourbon. The company’s portfolio extends into other categories with Deep Eddy Vodka from Texas and Lunazul Tequila from Jalisco, Mexico—each reflecting a commitment to regional authenticity and category-specific expertise that has made Heaven Hill a significant force across the American spirits landscape.
