The Shapira family, who founded Heaven Hill Distilleries in 1935, purchased the 528 Main Street building in 1954. During Whiskey Row's Golden Age, the address had been home to the Phil. Hollenbach Company, one of Louisville's finest liquor wholesalers and distributors. In 2013, Heaven Hill transformed the building into the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, bringing whiskey-making back to Main Street. There, visitors encounter the pioneering distiller Evan Williams, see Louisville as it was in 1783, experience an original small batch bourbon being made in the artisanal distillery, and taste Evan Williams bourbon in celebration of Louisville's First Commercial Distiller.
