The story behind it

The maker

The brand is named in honor of Reverend Elijah Craig, a minister and distiller credited with pioneering the practice of aging whiskey in charred oak barrels. Founded by the Shapira family in 1935, Heaven Hill has preserved this legacy through generations of master distillers.

How it is made

Distilled at the historic Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, using traditional methods. The expression is aged in charred new American oak barrels in the estate's open-air rickhouses.

From Kentucky, USA
