BARDSTOWN, KY. — Heaven Hill, a family-owned spirits company overseeing brands such as Evan Williams and Deep Eddy Vodka, has broken ground on a $135 million distillery in Bardstown, approximately 40 miles south of Louisville. The project, known as Heaven Hill Springs Distillery, is located at 1015 Old Bloomfield Pike, which was the site of the former Old Heaven Hill Springs Distillery. The former distillery opened in 1935, but was destroyed in a fire in 1996 that engulfed the distillery, seven rickhouses for barrel aging and about 100,000 barrels of whiskey. After the fire, Heaven Hill moved its distillery operations to the historic Bernheim Distillery in downtown Louisville, where the company still operates today. “We’re honored to celebrate this homecoming with a return to distilling in Bardstown to augment our overall bourbon-making capacity, as well as continue to make an impact in the Bardstown community,” says Max Shapira, president of Heaven Hill. Heaven Hill Springs Distillery is scheduled to open by the end of 2024. Heaven Hill anticipates the distillery will handle 150,000 barrels of spirits annually at first and ramp up production to 450,000 barrels annually over time, which mirrors the production at its Louisville distillery.
