The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1783 by Evan Williams, who established Kentucky's first commercial distillery along the banks of the Ohio River, this brand continues to champion time-honored distilling traditions. Today, it is produced under the care of Heaven Hill's master distillers, preserving its historic legacy.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, this bourbon utilizes a traditional sour mash recipe. It is aged in charred new American oak barrels to develop its hallmark caramel and oak complexity.
