The production of Evan Williams bourbon has earned it the 'Bottled-in-Bond' label. This label guarantees the quality of the whisky's production, as many adulterated distillates used to circulate on the market. More precisely, it means that the whisky has an alcohol content of 50%, has been aged for at least 4 years and is the product of a season. As the warehouses were locked and monitored by the state, this also enabled precise calculation of the tax to be levied. Made from 78% corn, 12% barley and 10% rye, this bourbon is aged for 4 years in recently burned oak barrels. This is what gives it its lighter, brighter color, which sets it apart from classic bourbon.
Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon is the second best-selling Kentucky Straight Bourbon in the world, a phenomenon made all the more remarkable by the fact that it comes from a family-run company. Heaven Hill Distilleries Inc. was founded by the Shapira family in 1934, shortly after the end of Prohibition. To this day, the company remains family-owned and operated by the third generation. Even today, completely in the spirit of the man to whom the brand owes its name, the master distillers take care to produce top-quality Kentucky Straight Bourbon, thanks to the raw materials and the maturation process.
