More questions
The Whisky Pikesville Straight Rye, produced by Heaven Hill Distilleries, is a spirit that embodies the American tradition of rye whiskey, celebrating the richness of Kentucky's land. Made with a predominance of rye in its grain blend, this whisky expresses a bold and spicy personality, typical of the most elegant ryes.
The aging process takes place in American white oak barrels, where the wood contributes its vanilla and sweet notes, while the pronounced rye presence gives freshness and a pleasant sharp note to the palate. On the nose, intense aromas of black pepper, cloves, and a light sweetness of caramel and baked apple are perceived. On the taste, it offers a harmonious balance between spices, toasted tones, and a warm and persistent finish that leaves a slightly herbal trail.
Pikesville is a versatile rye, ideal for those who wish to discover the strength and complexity of a classic American whiskey, perfect both for sipping neat and as a base for sophisticated and aromatic cocktails.

The story
Founded in 1935 by the Shapira brothers and a group of local investors, Heaven Hill grew from a single barrel operation to a large production and commercial presence in the spirits world. The company overcame significant events (including a devastating fire in 1996) and expanded its portfolio through acquisitions and new brands; in 1999 it acquired the Bernheim site in Louisville and over the years developed visitor centers such as the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience. In 2025 it resumed production in its original area with the new Heaven Hill Springs Distillery in Bardstown.
Distillation
Traditional American production with mashing, fermentation and distillation carried out at the group's facilities (e.g. Bernheim Distillery); specific technical details vary by site and still.
Ageing
Aging in American oak barrels (American bourbon practice) stored in rickhouses/warehouses near Bardstown and Louisville; many expressions comply with Bottled‑in‑Bond rules and other age declarations.
