Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Product Description

Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon: 100 Proof Heaven Hill Bourbon

Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond is the 100 proof “White Label” from Heaven Hill, and one of the best values in bourbon. “Bottled-in-Bond” is a government standard that dates to the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, and it means the whiskey is the product of one distillery in one distilling season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse under U.S. government supervision, and bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV). It’s made from Heaven Hill’s mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley and aged in new charred American oak.

The Evan Williams name goes back to 1783, when Evan Williams, a Welshman who settled near Louisville, is credited as Kentucky’s first commercial distiller. Today the brand is made by Heaven Hill, and the Bottled-in-Bond edition is the one for drinkers who want proof and flavor: sweet caramel and vanilla, a dash of black pepper, and a warm, dry finish, at a price that works as a daily sipper or a cocktail base. At 100 proof it holds up in an Old Fashioned, a Manhattan, or a Mint Julep.
