Heaven Hill announces completion of Phase One of Bourbon Heritage Center in Bardstown Heaven Hill Distillery is headed into the future by honoring its past. Following completion of Phase One of a multimillion-dollar renovation project, the Bourbon Heritage Center in Bardstown now has three tasting rooms, each one representing a story from Heaven Hill’s past. They’re all positioned around a giant barrel, where visitors can watch a video about how barrels are made. The tasting rooms include: the Fitzgerald Room, a Library and the Founders Room.

Heaven Hill also released renderings of Phase Two of the $17.5 million renovation and expansion. Phase Two will include exhibits detailing the history of the Elijah Craig and Larceny brands, a “You Do Bourbon” lab where guests learn how to become quality technicians, and a new rooftop restaurant.

The Bourbon Heritage Center opened in 2004, and the multi-year renovation project was announced in November 2018. According to a news release, the investment will expand production capacity and modernize Bardstown’s facilities.
