READY FOR SOME GOOD TIMES?
The Heaven Hill Bourbon Heritage Center is convenient located less than an hour from Louisville.
Pure Distilled Enjoyment
As you pass the second largest supply of Bourbon in the world, and enter the elegant white oak and limestone Center, you suddenly realize this is more than just another distillery tour. Whether you love Bourbon, Kentucky lore, filmed entertainment, shopping, local legends, or interactive excitement, you’re going to have a barrel of fun!
The Center features a unique design of copper, limestone and oak, important elements in the traditional distillation process. Legendary figures, including Elijah Craig and Evan Williams come to life in our themed movie.
Early American charm blends with a distinctly American spirit.

We are proud of the exceptional brands we create and the traditions we follow. This commitment to excellence has helped make Heaven Hill Distilleries the largest independent, family owned producer of distilled spirits in the nation. We invite you to come share our heritage and sample our unbridled Kentucky spirit.”
