We are so excited to announce the Grand Opening of the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience in Bardstown, Kentucky! The much anticipated, newly renovated and expanded Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience has been a labor of love for the project team including Anna Hibbs, Jeff Crowe, James Mmbando, and Susan Wahl. The expansion, renovation and renaming is a culmination of a multi-year $19 million investment, which triples the previous footprint with over 24,000 square feet that can now welcome more than 900 visitors per day.

On our last virtual tour in the fall, the structure was starting to take shape, giving us an idea of what the finished space might look like. Today, we join Anna Hibbs, Jean Michalak, and Andy Embry as they lead us through a virtual tour of the space, to give us a closer look at the nearly-finished exhibits and experiences for those who may not get to see them in person.
