Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey 1L 43% About Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey is the second best-selling whiskey in the USA and is produced in the Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown/Kentucky. Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey came onto the market in the 1960s and is named after the whiskey pioneer Evan Williams. He was the first commercial distiller in Kentucky and registered his craft in 1783. The recipe for today's Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey supposedly dates back to that time. Evan Williams had to stop producing bourbon whiskey after about 20 years because his neighbors felt harassed and forced him to give up. The neighbors may not have liked the production of Evan Williams' bourbon whiskey, but the members of the "Board of Trustees" liked it all the more. Evan Williams was also active there and made the sessions more bearable for all participants with his bourbon whiskey. Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey is in line with other well-known whiskey brands from Heaven Hill, such as Elijah Craig and Henry McKenna, which are also named after bourbon whiskey pioneers, but is by far the most successful whiskey in this series. The production of Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey is a very traditional bourbon whiskey, which is largely produced using the same complex methods as around 1783. This means that the mash is produced using the sour mash process and the subsequent fermentation uses a yeast strain that has been in the family for 7 (!) generations. The subsequent distillation takes place in copper column stills that are over 20 meters high, producing a distillate with a strength of 68 - 70% vol. The Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey is then diluted with spring water from the region to a cask strength of 62.5% vol. and filled into charred new barrels made of American white oak to mature for 4-20 years. After the maturation process is complete, the Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at a strong 43% vol. The master distillers of the Evan Williams Bourbon are Parker and Craig Beam - no strangers in the bourbon whiskey industry... The taste of the Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey In the color of strong amber yellow, Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey offers complex, sweet caramel candy, vanilla and peppermint on the nose. Light and balanced in body, notes of spicy, sweet vanilla, toasted oak and toffee dominate. Evan Williams offers a bourbon with a good price/performance ratio and is ideal for entry into the bourbon whiskey segment. Caramel and light fruit notes paired with subtle spiciness.

Bourbon Whiskey – The American Way of Corn!
Jim Beam, Jack Daniel’s, Wild Turkey, and Elijah Craig: the list of bourbon whiskey brands is long and distinguished. Every reputable spirits shop carries the most popular bourbons at their bar. And any beverage service that wants to excel offers exceptional whiskey for the most discerning connoisseurs. Ordering bourbon whiskey at the bar is not just about taste; it's also about image. Why is that? One name: Jack Daniel’s. Numerous rock 'n' roll bands like Guns 'n' Roses, Led Zeppelin, and Aerosmith have been photographed with a bottle of bourbon whiskey in hand, significantly contributing to the rock lifestyle image of the affectionately named "Jackie." This is not only why it’s a top seller but also because you can buy this whiskey at an affordable price.
But what makes this alcoholic beverage so special? And where does the sweet taste come from? First of all, this drink is typically American, unlike malt whisky, which is made in Scotland and Ireland. The name "Bourbon" comes from Bourbon County in Kentucky, named after the French royal family, the Bourbons. This was originally the main production area of the whiskey. Additionally, the so-called "water of life" is characterized by its high corn content. This is at least 51%, making it predominant in the grain mixture. The corn content varies in different bourbon whiskey types and reaches a maximum of 80% in strong corn whiskey. Moreover, a minimum aging period of two years is legally required, which takes place in charred new white oak barrels.
The barrels must be fresh and unused, which also significantly contributes to the taste of bourbon whiskey. Today, you can buy various types of bourbon whiskey. These include Straight Bourbon, a pure distillate from a grain mixture with at least 51% corn. Blended Bourbon, where different bourbon and straight bourbon whiskey brands are mixed. Additionally, Blended Straight Bourbon, which exclusively blends straight bourbons. Tennessee whiskey, which includes the famous Jack Daniel’s, comes from Tennessee and has at least 20% rye content in addition to corn, making it particularly mild. You can also buy the now somewhat rarer Rye Whiskey in our online spirits shop, where the grain mixture contains at least 51% rye. Be convinced by the variety in our whisky shop and enjoy bourbon whiskey according to your taste. By the way, our beverage delivery service brings your favorites right to your home.
