The Whiskey Reviewer A World of Whiskey, Poured Every Weekday
By Richard Thomas
America’s largest independent, family-owned and -operated spirits company, Heaven Hill, achieved a major milestone on Tuesday, February 10 when it filled its seven millionth bourbon barrel.
The distillery celebrated its achievement with a “bunging off” ceremony attended by their Master Distillers Craig Beam, Denny Potter; Artisanal Distiller Charlie Downs; notables from Nelson County and Louisville tourist organizations; and many longtime friends and partners of the distiller.
Heaven Hill also offered their staple bourbon, Evan Williams, to those visiting the distillery at the discounted rate of a mere $7. The Bourbon Heritage Center in Bardstown also offered its tour for $7.
