Facts

Evan Williams founded Kentucky's first commercial distillery in 1783 along the Ohio River. His namesake bourbon carries that pioneering spirit in every bottle. This bottled-in-bond expression meets strict government standards that date back to 1897. Four years in charred oak barrels develops rich caramel and vanilla notes. Black pepper and cinnamon spices balance the sweetness. The 100 proof strength delivers bold flavour without overwhelming heat. Each sip reveals layers of brown sugar and buttery corn. Pour it neat to appreciate the full character of this historic Kentucky bourbon.

About the Evan Williams White Label

Evan Williams White Label is a bottled-in-bond bourbon whisky from Kentucky, United States. The Evan Williams distillery produces this expression to meet seven strict federal requirements established by Congress in 1897. These standards guarantee the whisky comes from one distillery during a single distilling season. It must age at least four years under government supervision. Evan Williams built Kentucky's first commercial distillery in 1783 on the banks of the Ohio River. Today the distillery operates just blocks from that original site. The mash bill contains 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley. This combination creates a bourbon with substantial body and spice character. Caramel and vanilla dominate the aroma, followed by charred oak and subtle apple notes. The palate delivers brown sugar sweetness balanced by black pepper heat. Butterscotch and dark chocolate flavours emerge as the whisky opens up. Cherry and banana fruit notes add brightness beneath the corn-forward core. The finish brings lingering cinnamon and corn sweetness with oaky depth. No colouring is added, so the spirit shows its natural amber tone. Evan Williams White Label drinks best neat. The 100 proof strength provides enough intensity to stand on its own. This bourbon represents exceptional value for a bottled-in-bond expression from one of Kentucky's oldest names. It suits everyday sipping and serves as a reliable benchmark for classic bourbon character. Many drinkers keep a bottle on hand for its consistent quality and honest flavour. The bottled-in-bond stamp guarantees transparency about age and origin.
