Evan Williams Whiskey

Evan Williams paid a fine at every single town council meeting in Louisville because he insisted on bringing a bottle of whiskey along. Today the world's second best-selling bourbon carries his name and his stubbornness forward, at a price most people can afford.

    Evan Williams Bottled-In-Bond 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl 50%
    Item no.: 222278654231504001-

    The strictest US whiskey standard, met by one of Kentucky's best-selling bourbon names.

    Expert description

    Evan Williams Bottled-In-Bond 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey follows the 1897 US Bottled-in-Bond Act, requiring the whiskey to be distilled in one season by one distiller at one distillery, aged at least four years, and bottled at exactly 50%. Evan Williams is named after the Welshman who, according to tradition, opened Kentucky's first commercial distillery on the banks of the Ohio River in 1783. When the Shapira brothers founded Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown in 1935, shortly after Prohibition ended, they chose to honour Williams' name for their flagship bourbon in 1957. Today Evan Williams is the second best-selling Kentucky Straight Bourbon brand in the world, second only to Jim Beam, and is made from a mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye and 12% malted barley.

About Evan Williams

Evan Williams Bourbon is produced by Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky and is named after Welshman Evan Williams, who founded the state's first commercial distillery in 1783, mainly because it was easier to distil the corn on site than transport it. The brand is today the world's second best-selling Kentucky Straight Bourbon, known for delivering solid quality at an affordable price, while the Single Barrel Vintage series has won "Whiskey of the Year" five times over. Collectors take an interest in the vintage-dated Single Barrel releases, while newcomers get a reliable, budget-conscious entry into American bourbon.

History & Background

Evan Williams emigrated from Wales to Kentucky around 1780 and founded the state's first distillery just three years later on the banks of the Louisville riverfront. He served on the city's Board of Trustees, where he reportedly brought a bottle of whiskey to every single meeting and was fined each time, an anecdote still told as part of the brand's founding myth. After decades of changing ownership, the name ended up at Heaven Hill, the Shapira family's distillery in Bardstown, which since the end of Prohibition has built Evan Williams into one of the best-selling bourbons in the world.

History & Background

Heaven Hill was founded in 1935 by the Shapira family, shortly after Prohibition ended, and chose to name its flagship product after Evan Williams to link the brand to Kentucky's earliest distilling history. The company remains family-owned today and is one of the largest independent bourbon houses in the US.

Production & Style

The bourbon is distilled and matured following Heaven Hill's classic method in new, charred oak casks, focused on consistency rather than single-cask variation.

Signature Style

Caramel, Vanilla, Straightforward
Caramel and vanilla meet a light, grainy sweetness in a classic, accessible bourbon style built for everyday use.
