Nice Center

The customer center was nice and they were able to easily accommodate us for a tour. The tour guide was friendly and gave great information. We did not realize how many different brands fall under the Heaven Hill name. The tasting room was pretty cool.

Tasting plus

My wife and I opted for the premium tasting for $20, skipping the tour. The tasting included some very good bourbons, including one that's $129 a bottle.

The best of all tours is the tasting. If you are looking for something to see from start to finish this is not the place to see.

Tour of bourbons

We had a very good tour of bourbons and whiskeys. We were late for the tour. They accommodated us, since we were the only ones there. Very informative and interesting. Not for kids.

Many brand under one roof

I enjoyed their tour immediately and was surprised to see they distill many brands in one place. Care was given to delineating the different makeup of American whiskey from corn to various grains. I came away with a liking of rye but was opened up...More

This depends on what you are looking for. If you want to go to a Rickhouse, then the Heritage Center is the place (not to mention that the tasting afterwards is in a cool looking room). If you are interested in the history... More
