The story behind it

The maker

Evan Williams established Kentucky's first commercial distillery in 1783 along the banks of the Ohio River. Today, the brand is proudly owned and produced by Heaven Hill, a family-owned distillery that has preserved historic American whiskey traditions for generations.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, this bourbon honors Evan Williams, Kentucky's first commercial distiller. It is distilled using a traditional sour mash recipe and aged in new, charred American white oak barrels to achieve its signature rich profile.
