Distiller's Background:

Heaven Hill Distillery has remained family-owned and operated by the Shapira family since its founding in 1935. After laying its first barrels in that year, the distillery released Old Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond in 1939, which quickly became Kentucky’s top-selling bourbon. Through fires, Prohibition’s aftermath, and decades of growth, Heaven Hill has preserved its independence and values, producing more Bottled-in-Bond whiskeys than any other American distillery. Today, maturation takes place across historic rickhouses in Bardstown and Louisville, with Heaven Hill Springs Distillery marking the brand’s return to whiskey production in Bardstown and continuing a legacy built on patience, consistency, and trust.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy neat or with a single large ice cube to appreciate its balance and depth, or use it as the backbone of classic cocktails where structure matters. Its higher proof and rich profile make it particularly well suited to a Boulevardier or Manhattan, where caramel sweetness, spice, and oak can stand up beautifully to bitters and vermouth.

Rooted in history and elevated by time, Heaven Hill Distilleries Bottled-in-Bond 7 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey delivers a classic, confidently structured expression, one that honors the past while continuing to define American whiskey excellence.
