Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey by Heaven Hill Distilleries

Declared America's Native Spirit by a 1964 act of Congress, Bourbon has always been the heart and soul of Heaven Hill Distilleries. Heaven Hill was originally established as a Bourbon distiller in 1934, and today the world's second largest holding of aging Kentucky Bourbon sleeps peacefully in our open rick warehouses situated throughout the heart of Bourbon Country.

By law, Bourbon must be made up of at least 51% corn and be aged a minimum of two years in a new charred white oak barrel, standards that were pioneered by early Bourbon makers such as Evan Williams and Rev. Elijah Craig.

Today, our brands named after these early Kentucky whiskey-makers exceed these standards, offering unique attributes of age, proof and heritage in an astonishing range of traditional, small batch, single barrel, rye-based and wheated Bourbons. And all are produced under the watchful eyes of father and son Master Distillers Parker and Craig Beam, the sixth and seventh generations of a famed Bourbon-making family.

	As America's second-largest selling Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Evan Williams honors the man recognized as Kentucky's First Distiller, who set up his stills in 1783 on the banks of the Ohio River in Louisville. Evan Williams Black Label, 86 proof, was a Silver Medalist at the recent San Francisco World Spirits Competition, defeating brands costing four or five times its price. It is a nationally and internationally known Bourbon, with distribution in select markets in Europe, Asia and the Pacific Rim.
	This super-premium bottling of our flagship brand is the world's best known vintage-dated Single Barrel Bourbon and is one of the most acclaimed whiskeys of all time. The first American Whiskey ever to win The Spirit Journal 's Whiskey of the Year award, Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage is bottled solely from one barrel hand-selected by Master Distillers Parker and Craig Beam. Each year, we celebrate the Fall with a new vintage of this highly acclaimed Bourbon.
	Evan Williams Original Southern Egg Nog mixes extra-aged Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon with rich, creamy egg nog. A true southern-style egg nog, Evan Williams Egg Nog capitalizes on the taste and popularity of Evan Williams, the country's second-largest selling Kentucky Straight Bourbon. One of the top selling seasonal products in the country, Evan Williams Egg Nog is available during the holidays in the familiar Evan Williams square 750ml bottle.
	At 12 years old and 94 proof, Elijah Craig is bottled exclusively from a dumping of 70 barrels or less, all drawn from the middle to upper floors of the traditional metal clad rickhouses. It is the original Small Batch Bourbon, having been made available even before the term was invented. Elijah Craig recently won Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and was named winner in the Premium Bourbon category in Whisky Magazine 's bi-annual Best of the Best tasting competition.
	The oldest Single Barrel Bourbon in the world at 18 years, Elijah Craig Single Barrel is a rare marvel of whiskey-making. Only a handful of the millions of aging Bourbon barrels are allowed to mature this long, resulting in an extremely complex, layered sensory experience. The barrels are hand selected by Parker and Craig Beam, and after 18 years of Kentucky seasons nearly 2/3 of the contents of the barrel have evaporated into Angel's Share!
	Parker's Heritage collection is a series of rare, limited edition American Whiskeys offered as a tribute to sixth-generation Heaven Hill Master Distiller Parker Beam for his 50 years of distilling experience. This series will tempt the growing number of Straight American Whiskey enthusiasts with something that only Heaven Hill could offer-a chance each year to sample choice barrels that represent every major style of American Whiskey.
	The only extra-aged bottled in bond Single Barrel Bourbon available today, Henry McKenna Single Barrel is aged 10 years before each honey barrel is dumped and bottled as is. At 10 years and 100 proof, it meets the exacting US government standards for a true bottled in bond Bourbon.
	Henry McKenna brought his family's whiskey recipe with him from Ireland in 1837 and settled in Fairfield, Kentucky, founding his distillery there in 1855. He soon adapted his techniques to the local Kentucky grains, particularly corn, and began producing what became known as Kentuckys Finest Table Whiskey. To this day, Henry McKenna Bourbon honors that heritage with a Bourbon that can be served with pride and poured without pretension.
	The bad boy of Bourbon is bottled at a robust 103 proof, but its 6 years of aging smooth out the feathers real well. Through award-winning packaging and point-of-sale, and a unique and irreverent marketing campaign, Fighting Cock appeals to both male Gen X-ers and serious Bourbon lovers alike.
	Made with a "whisper of wheat" according to a time-honored formula, Old Fitzgerald is critically acclaimed for its distinct, complex nose and taste. By substituting wheat for the more traditional rye in the grain recipe, or mashbill, Old Fitzgerald finishes with a rounder, softer profile. Old Fitz is a storied brand, with roots going back to the 1870's when it was first produced for rail and steamship lines and private clubs.
	Heaven Hill Distilleries, as the second largest holder of Bourbon in the world, also offers a number of other well-known and historic American Whiskey brands. Some of the larger labels include the Heaven Hill Bourbon family, Cabin Still, J.W. Dant, Echo Spring, Mattingly & Moore, J.T.S. Brown, T.W. Samuels, Kentucky Deluxe and Kentucky Supreme .
