LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience was named Whisky Visitor Attraction of the Year.

The honor was announced this week by The Whisky Magazine Icons of Whisky awards.

Heaven Hill won through votes from a panel of judges.

The Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience was unveiled in June 2021 and includes the expansion and renovation of the visitor center in Bardstown. Heaven Hill broke ground on the $19 million project in 2018, and construction ramped up through the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The exhibits showcase the family history and Heaven Hill’s brands. And Five Brothers Bar and Kitchen gives guests the chance to relax with a drink and a scenic view of the property. The entire experience will last about an hour and cost $40, which does not include the price of the personalized bottle. A donation of $5 per bottle will be made to a rotating charitable cause.

It includes an interactive education space with unique exhibits. Click here to learn more about the different experiences.
