The Whiskey Reviewer A World of Whiskey, Poured Every Weekday
By Richard Thomas
Heaven Hill Distilleries, the largest privately-held, family-owned spirits company in the U.S. and holder of the second-largest inventory of bourbon stock in Kentucky, filed development plans with the Louisville city government for its Bernheim Distillery on Tuesday, January 19th.
The plans call for a projected $15.5 million investment in the plant. One of the buildings will be expanded, and a beer well, three fermenters and a new still will be added to the existing plant. Louisville’s Abel Construction Co. is slated to do the work, which should begin sometime this spring.
