Heaven Hill's Workhorse Vodka
Burnett's joined the Heaven Hill family when the Bardstown producer acquired Burnett's Gin in 1989, and the vodka followed in 1991 — becoming one of America's best-known value vodkas on a simple formula: distil it four times, filter it three times through charcoal, and keep it crisp, clean, and endlessly mixable. Heaven Hill, family-owned since 1935, positions it as one of the purest-tasting vodkas on the shelf for the money.

Tasting Notes
Heaven Hill publishes no detailed tasting note for the original vodka; it is intentionally neutral and clean — a soft grain character and a crisp, clean mouthfeel, made to disappear into a drink rather than dominate it.
How to Enjoy
A true mixing vodka: screwdrivers, vodka sodas, Bloody Marys, and big-batch punches where a neutral, clean base is the whole point. More party-ready bottles are in our spirits collection.
