Evan Williams

Evan Williams is a brand of bourbon from the Heaven Hill Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. It was created (and named after) the first commercial distiller in the state and has since gone on to become the second best-selling Kentucky bourbon in the world.

Known for its smooth and rich profile, Evan Williams is aged in charred oak for a minimum of four years. It has big notes of vanilla, caramel and oak, with a hint of winter spice. 

If you’re looking to sample this historic name, the Black Label is the brand’s flagship expression. It’s been aged for six years and bottled at 43% ABV. Looking for something with a bit more kick? The 100 proof White Label has been bottled at 50% ABV and is more full-bodied and a great introduction to higher-strength whiskey.
