Evan Williams

Evan Williams was a Kentucky settler who the company says began distilling in 1783 in what is now Louisville Kentucky. A historical marker in Louisville says the site was Kentucky's first commercial distillery. This heritage is emphasized on the bottle label of the best selling variant the black label which bears the inscriptions "Since 1783" and "Kentucky's 1st distiller".

Here we have the classic Bourbon nose of spice and sweetness with a hint of creamy vanilla. The palate is full flavoured with notes of dried fruits and cinnamon. A really super Bourbon.

Fab with slow cooked black beans with belly pork.
