Evan Williams is a smooth, easy to drink Bourbon named after Evan Williams who, in 1783, opened Kentucky's first commercial distillery along the banks of the Ohio River. Many years and barrels later, we're still producing Bourbon with the same time-honored methods that Evan Williams did years ago. Evan Williams Black is 86 proof and aged far longer than we are required to by law. That proof and age leads to a Bourbon that we are proud of, made our way, and that is always rich, smooth, and full of character. Medium amber color. Light with deep vanilla and mint nose. Notes of oak, brown sugar and caramel. Medium to long finish.
