Shortly after Prohibition ended in the United States,
Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc., was founded in
Bardstown, Kentucky by the Shapira family to produce
and market Bourbon and premium American whiskeys.
At the time, it was as speculative a new business
venture as the dot com start-ups of the 1990's
-- a company founded with no brands, no available
stocks of whiskey, and at the height of the Great
Depression. Today, the company has overcome these
initial challenges and grown to become the largest
independent, family-owned producer and marketer
of distilled spirits in the country. According
to industry analysts, Heaven Hill is now the seventh
largest spirits supplier in the United States and
is the second largest holder of aging Bourbon whiskey
in the world with an inventory in excess of 675,000
barrels.
Throughout its product line, Heaven Hill offers
a competitive advantage by emphasizing unique
characteristics like extra aging, superior quality,
innovative packaging and uncompromised craftsmanship.
Heritage, stability and dedication define Heaven
Hill Distilleries, Inc., a company committed
to producing and marketing the highest quality
spirits products worldwide.
