Heaven Hill 10 Years Old

Despite being such a huge name in whiskey and bourbon production, supplying a variety of other brands, Heaven Hill is a relatively new name in distilling terms. Founded in 1935 as the Old Heavenhill Springs by the Shapira brothers and investors, the family still retains ownership today after buying out other parties in 1943. The distillery has gone from strength to strength. By 1955, it had filled its 500,000th barrel and by 2018 had surpassed 8 million. Guided by the presence of a Beam family member as the master distiller, starting with Park Beam in the 1940s and ending with Craig Beam in 2017, who had to care for his father. Heaven Hill has grown in size, influence and reach, adding new facilities and brands to its range such as Henry McKenna while also owning rum, liqueur and vodka brands.
