Our Culture
Good spirits start within. When our people thrive, everything else follows.
Many Spirits One Team
Spirited Commitment
Heaven Hill’s Culture Is Our Strongest Differentiator. We call it Spirited Commitment – a shared mindset rooted in values that guide everything we do. From the production floor to the boardroom, it’s how we lead with integrity, grow with purpose, and work together with respect. It’s a daily commitment to do right by one another, to aim higher, and to thrive together.
Our culture is shaped by more than tradition – it’s built on incredible people. Rooted in our family legacy, we’re committed to creating a workplace – and a world – where people feel connected, supported, and inspired to lift the human spirit. It’s a culture of equal parts craft and character, where every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered to be their best, every day.
Building Thriving Communities
Good Neighbor Commitment
Being a good neighbor means more than giving back—it’s about showing up, standing together, and investing in the places we call home. Through our Good Neighbor Committment, we partner with communities to build lasting impact, from supporting local needs to fostering resilience and opportunity. Whether it’s through philanthropy, volunteerism, or hands-on collaboration, we’re proud to help our communities thrive—together.
Spirited Neighbor Initiative
Heaven Hill’s Spirited Neighbor Initiative is a five-year, $800,000 commitment to the California neighborhood of West Louisville—home to our Bernheim Distillery—focused on amplifying local voices and creating lasting, positive impact. The initiative also powers a broader, micro-grant program, offering biannual awards ranging from $500 to $5,000 to support grassroots non-profits, schools, and community partners advancing education, mental health, economic empowerment, and neighborhood revitalization. And we don’t stop there, we get involved. From volunteer hours to peer learning and hands-on support, we’re committed to strengthening the communities we call home. Together, we’re investing in people, potential, and progress—for today and for generations to come.
The Spirited Neighbor Program has been a game changer for our community. It’s not just about resources—it’s about showing our young people that they matter, that their education and growth are worth investing in. Together, we’ve created opportunities that will echo for generations.
Environmental Sustainability
At Heaven Hill, sustainability is embedded in everything we do, and we’re taking meaningful action to protect the natural resources that make our spirits possible. Our commitment starts at the source. We’re proud that our distilleries in Louisville, and Buda, Texas have earned the U.S. EPA’s ENERGY STAR® Certification for superior energy efficiency—an achievement held by only a select few in the industry.
2030 Sustainability Goals: Protecting the Spirit of Tomorrow
As makers of spirits rooted in nature, we understand the importance of protecting the world around us. Through our 2030 Sustainability Strategy, we’ve set bold goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve water and minimize waste — all to help craft a more sustainable future that’s as enduring as our legacy.
Preserving White Oak's Future
We’re also investing in the future of American whiskey through our white oak conservation efforts and our one-of-a-kind logger education program, helping ensure the next generation of barrels and forests thrive. These aren’t just behind-the-scenes efforts—they’re enduring commitments to the people, places, and ingredients that make every pour possible. Because when we care for what’s essential, everyone raises a better glass.
