Evan Williams Bourbon is A popular brand of bourbon from Kentucky, U.S.A. It has been produced since 1783. The standard issue Evan Williams Bourbon comes with a black label and the “upgraded” bottled-in-bond version comes with a white label. Which is slightly interesting to me because it’s the opposite with Jim Beam whose entry level is the white label and “upgraded” version is the the black label. Though they do now have the Jim Beam Bonded which sports a gold label.
Supposedly founded in 1783, Evan Williams is one of Heaven Hill’s 2 flagship brads (the other being Elijah Craig). The story as HH tells it is that Evan Williams was a Kentucky settler who started distilling in 1783 and was the first distiller in KY.
