Heaven Hill 90th Anniversary 9 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon

9 years. 90th Anniversary. Heaven Hill — a commemorative limited release marking Heaven Hill’s 90th anniversary, presenting a 9-year Kentucky straight bourbon that honors the distillery’s Bardstown founding and nearly a century of independent family ownership.

Heaven Hill was founded in 1935 by the Shapira family — one of the last remaining major independently family-owned American distilleries. The 90th anniversary expression presents a 9-year-aged bourbon that mirrors the anniversary number — a deliberate connection between the spirit’s age and the distillery’s milestone. Heaven Hill survived the 1996 fire that destroyed their original distillery, rebuilt at Bernheim, and now operates one of the largest aging whiskey inventories in the world.
