We are beyond proud to announce that Heaven Hill Distillery filled its 10,000,000th barrel of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey at a press conference and celebration in Bardstown, KY this morning.

As a thank you to one of the communities that has been crucial in reaching this achievement, we’ve partnered with 10 local Bardstown and Nelson County-based non-profit organizations to support their respective missions. These charitable organizations support a broad range of health, social services and educational needs in the community. At this morning’s celebration, these organizations were visually represented by 10 barrels that were beautifully designed and painted by Kentucky-based “Starvin Artist,” David Green.

In celebration of the 10 millionth barrel, we are hosting a unique internal giveaway where Heaven Hill team members can enter to win their very own custom painted barrel!

 Are you ready to join in on the fun?

We’ve come up with TEN facts to celebrate 10 MILLION barrels. Ask Bernheim/Bardstown Human Resources or HHBE/EWBE Managers for a quick facts sheet and take a guess at the missing numbers by filling in the blanks. Once you’ve completed the facts sheet, turn it back in for a chance to win! Entries are due by EOD August 9th, 2023.

The winner of the 10 millionth barrel giveaway will be notified and will get to choose the artwork they’d like painted on their very own Heaven Hill Distillery barrel. The options are endless – So get creative!

*The winner’s artwork idea must be approved by the communications team and the artist. The barrel that is being painted and given away has already been dumped.

The 10 millionth barrel will be put up to age in historic Rickhouse , where it will be displayed amongst Heaven Hill’s other milestone barrels. Before it is moved to the Rickhouse on September 1, 2023, employees within driving distance are invited to swing by the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience lobby to sign it! When you arrive, ask the front desk for more information.

This accomplishment is truly a team effort. The Heaven Hill Distillery team would like to especially thank everyone who has been involved in growing the Whiskey side of the business!
