Evan Williams is a brand of bourbon whiskey which is bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky at the Heaven Hill facility. It is aged for a minimum of seven years and is sold for a relatively modest price.
Most Evan Williams bourbon is sold as the mass-market "Black Label" variety. Evan Williams also bottles Evan Willams 1783 ten-year-old bourbon in more limited quantities and a highly rated, ten-year-old single barrel bourbon sold in bottles sealed with black wax.
Evan Williams is the second largest-selling Kentucky straight bourbon. Founder Evan Williams began distilling in 1783 near Louisville, Kentucky. Evan Williams is 43% alc/vol (86 proof) unlike some popular whiskeys which are 40% alc/vol (80 proof).
