Heaven Hill: brands it owns and its ownership tree
Heaven Hill is a privately held company headquartered in the United States that owns 12 consumer brands.[1]
Heaven Hill is a family-owned and family-led American spirits company. Its own history page says the Old Heavenhill Springs distillery was founded in 1935 by Bardstown-area investors and the five Shapira brothers, and that it is one of the largest family-owned and led spirits companies. Its brands page also lists tequila and mezcal labels such as Lunazul, Tequila Ocho and Mezcal Vago, and further brands such as Hpnotiq and Domaine de Canton; those are left out here because the pages do not establish their ownership or origin clearly enough.
