In celebration of the grand opening of the new Heaven Hill Springs Distillery, Heaven Hill Distillery proudly announces the release of Heaven Hill Master Distillers Unity. This limited-edition Bourbon honors the legacy of Heaven Hill’s original distillery and the generations of master distillers who shaped its history.
A Tribute to Legacy and Renewal
At the heart of this release is the last remaining barrel of Bourbon distilled at the Old Heaven Hill Springs Distillery in 1991 by legendary Master Distiller Parker Beam. Aged for 34 years, this rare whiskey is mingled with 14-, 8-, and 6-year-old Bourbons crafted at Bernheim Distillery by Parker Beam, Denny Potter, and current Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll.
“This release represents both a tribute to our past and a toast to our future,” said Conor O’Driscoll.

A Living Legacy in a Bottle
Heaven Hill Master Distillers Unity is more than a commemorative release—it’s a symbol of continuity and craftsmanship. By blending Bourbons spanning over three decades, Heaven Hill honors its roots while celebrating a bold new chapter in Bardstown, the Bourbon Capital of the World.
“Heaven Hill Master Distillers Unity is not just a bottle—it is a living legacy,” said O’Driscoll.
