Heaven Hill Distillery announced the release of Heaven Hill Master Distillers Unity, a limited-edition Bourbon created to commemorate the grand opening of the new Heaven Hill Springs Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. 

This once-in-a-generation release embodies the past, present, and future of America’s largest independent, family-owned and led distilled spirits producer.

At the heart of Heaven Hill Master Distillers Unity lies the last remaining barrel that was distilled at the historic Old Heaven Hill Springs Distillery in 1991 by the legendary Parker Beam and aged for 34 years. This singular whiskey barrel is mingled with 14-year-old, 8-year-old, and 6-year-old Bourbon crafted at Bernheim Distillery by former Master Distillers Parker Beam and Denny Potter, as well as current Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll — uniting generations of craftsmanship in one extraordinary bottle.

Born from just 27 barrels, the release marks a full-circle moment as Heaven Hill returns to Bardstown, the Bourbon Capital of the World, with its new state-of-the-art Heaven Hill Springs Distillery. Only approximately 4,000 bottles will be available, each bottled at 107 proof to commemorate the original barrel entry proof used at Old Heaven Hill Springs Distillery and priced at $225. The Bourbon is crafted from Heaven Hill’s traditional mashbill of 78% corn, 12% malted barley, and 10% rye.

A Once-in-a-Generation Bourbon

Heaven Hill Master Distillers Unity stands as a symbol of both heritage and progress — honoring the distillers who shaped the company while marking a bold new chapter for Bourbon in Bardstown. Crafted from the last remaining barrel of Bourbon that was produced at the original distillery and joined by select Bourbons spanning more than three decades, this release captures a unique and pivotal moment in Heaven Hill’s story.

“This release represents both a tribute to our past and a toast to our future,” Conor O’Driscoll, Heaven Hill Master Distiller, said in a news release. “By uniting the last available barrel from the Old Heaven Hill Springs Distillery with carefully chosen selections produced at Bernheim Distillery, we are weaving together generations of dedication, artistry, and vision. It is a rare opportunity to share a Bourbon that tells the story of where we’ve been, while also celebrating where we are going. Heaven Hill Master Distillers Unity is not just a bottle—it is a living legacy, a bridge between our past and present created to mark one of the most important milestones in Heaven Hill’s journey and in the broader Bourbon industry.”
