Bourbon Chase, Dinner and More- Bourbon Galore
Upcoming Bourbon Chase
October 6th to October 7th Heaven Hill will participate in the 2023 Ragnar Bourbon Chase. The race is a 200+ mile relay through the beautiful countryside of Kentucky hitting as many different distilleries as possible along the way. The event begins at Jim Beam Distilling Company in Clermont, KY and finishes in downtown Lexington, KY. Along the way runners will stop at the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience to grab snacks and shop.
The team is comprised of 12 runners that each run three legs of the race which vary in distance and difficulty. Each leg has different distances ranging from three miles to nine miles. Each runner will run about 16-17 miles over the three legs. Are you in the area? Attend by running OR volunteering! The deadline to sign up to run is August 31st. The deadline to sign up to volunteer is September 15th.
In 2022, Heaven Hill completed the course in a total time of 34 hours and 22 minutes, with an average team pace of nine minutes and 38 seconds per mile. Employees interested in running typically run anywhere from an eight-minute mile to a 12-minute mile and are always encouraged to go at their own pace!
If you are interested in joining the team or volunteering at the event, please contact Lloyd Chatfield.
Varanese On-Premise Sold-Out Bourbon Dinner
Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll was a featured speaker at an on-premise event hosted at the long-time local account, Varanese for the Heaven Hill Bourbon Dinner in Louisville, KY. There were a total of 60 attendees at the dinner – impressively selling out the venue. Attendees got a four-course dinner, a flight of three Heaven Hill Bourbons and an opportunity to hear about Heaven Hill from Conor’s insider perspective.
Conor touched on many different topics to help engage and inform the attendees on Heaven Hill’s portfolio. He explained his journey to becoming a master distiller, the different brands Heaven Hill has and the process by which some of them are made. He also discussed the excitement surrounding the new Heaven Hill Springs Distillery being built in Bardstown, KY.
The Bourbon flight included Larceny Barrel Proof, Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel and Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch. Conor led the tasting, and during the event, he signed some of the bottles for attendees.
