Evan Williams, the second largest selling brand of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey in the U.S. and the world, is named for Kentucky’s first distiller of 1783. Heaven Hill Master Distillers oversee production of Evan Williams using the process and traditional recipe made popular by the brand’s namesake. A lasting hallmark of the Evan Williams brand is its extra aging, which gives it a richer, smoother Bourbon taste than the competition. It is this extra-aging that has earned Evan Williams numerous awards and bragging rights among competitively priced Bourbons.
