Originally launched by Heaven Hill to honor the historic Bernheim Distillery, this brand showcases the softer side of traditional American distilling. Heaven Hill was founded in 1935 by the Shapira family in Bardstown, Kentucky, and remains one of the largest independent, family-owned distilled spirits producers in the United States.
Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey is produced by Heaven Hill at the historic Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. It was the first truly new variety of American straight whiskey introduced since Prohibition, establishing the wheat whiskey category.
