A Deeper Dive;
Evan Williams (Heaven Hill Distillery)
Evan Williams is celebrated as Kentucky's pioneer commercial distiller, starting production in 1783 along the banks of the Ohio River. Named after this influential figure, the brand embodies his innovative spirit and dedication to quality, laying the foundation for future generations. Each bottle carries this rich historical connection, allowing consumers to savour a piece of American heritage with every sip.
Produced by Heaven Hill Distillery, one of the largest independent family-owned distilleries in the U.S., Evan Williams is distilled using traditional techniques in Bardstown and Louisville, Kentucky. Typically aged between four to seven years, its flavour profile is a result of both the process and the duration of aging. The bourbon is matured in barrels made from American white oak, which are charred to activate the wood sugars, imparting deep notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak to the spirit.
The recipe for Evan Williams bourbon has maintained a consistent profile, following traditional production methods. With a mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley, it ensures a well-balanced bourbon with a smooth yet robust flavour that has captivated audiences for centuries. Strict legal definitions dictate that bourbon must contain at least 51% corn in its mash, and Evan Williams's commitment to this specific grain blend underscores its dedication to quality and heritage.
