Heaven Hill Distillery announced the release of the Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Artist Series Collection, a limited-time collector’s edition packaging that celebrates the distillery’s heritage and artistry in bourbon making. 

Paying tribute to the nine decades long history of Heaven Hill Distillery, this new series combines tradition with the creativity of Kentucky artist Bri Bowers.

Each bottle in the Artist Series Collection showcases one of five bespoke watercolor illustrations by Bowers, capturing the spirit of the people, places, and history that make Heaven Hill Distillery unique.

 Offered at Heaven Hill’s two Bardstown Visitor Experience locations are two exclusive labels celebrating the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience and Heaven Hill’s Championship Barrel Rolling team.

“This series is a love letter to Heaven Hill’s history and to Kentucky itself,” Kelly Hendriksen, Senior Brand Manager at Heaven Hill Distillery, said in a news release. “For nearly ninety years, Heaven Hill has been woven into the fabric of Kentucky Bourbon’s story—carrying forward traditions that define America’s native spirit. Bri’s work beautifully captures the people, places, and pride that have shaped not only our bourbons, but also the broader history of Kentucky Bourbon itself.”

The featured artworks celebrate:

• Heaven Hill Rickhouses – The Bardstown home to 20 rickhouses, some dating back to the 1930s, where barrels mature for Heaven Hill’s award-winning Bottled-in-Bond Whiskeys.
• Bernheim Rickhouses – Iconic brick rickhouses in downtown Louisville, uniquely towering up to twelve floors and representing a distinct part of the distillery’s heritage.
• Heaven Hill Springs Distillery – Opening in September 2025, this new Bardstown facility marks the return of Heaven Hill’s whiskey production to its birthplace after the 1996 fire.
• Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience – *Bardstown Visitor Center Exclusive* – The award-winning visitor experience that celebrates the history and tradition of Kentucky’s native spirit.
• Heaven Hill’s Championship Barrel Rolling Team – *Bardstown Visitor Center Exclusive* – From the rickhouse to the relay, Heaven Hill’s Championship Barrel Rolling Team carries forward a proud Kentucky tradition of strength, skill, and hometown pride.

The Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Artist Series Collection will be available nationwide in September. Priced at $49.99 MSRP, the bourbon features the same award-winning liquid as the flagship Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, aged for seven years. Consumers are encouraged to check with local retailers for availability, as quantities are extremely limited.

“Being asked to be the inaugural artist for this project with Heaven Hill was an honor,” Bowers said. “The thought of seeing my work represent Kentucky on shelves in spaces and homes all over the country is a delight.”

The Golden Cork Sweepstakes – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Distillery Experience

In conjunction with the release, Heaven Hill is launching the Golden Cork Sweepstakes (available in all markets except UT and VT). Inspired by the magic of a “golden ticket,” select bottles will contain a hidden golden cork beneath the capsule, giving consumers the chance to win an exclusive Kentucky bourbon experience, including visits to both of Heaven Hill’s world-class distilleries, guided tastings with Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll, and behind-the-scenes access never before offered.
