Evan Williams 50th Edition Derby Festival Pegasus Pins 2022 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 2014 750ml bottle

In 1783, Evan Williams opened Kentucky's first distillery on the banks of the Ohio River. Now owned by Heaven Hill Distillery, Evan Williams is one of the best-selling bourbons in the world, renowned for its rich and smooth character. As of 2010, Evan Williams was the second largest-selling brand of Kentucky straight bourbon (following the market-leading Jim Beam brand) and had the fastest-growing market share among the top-volume American whiskey brands. The "standard issue" Evan Williams bourbon is sold as the mass-market "Black Label" variety. The company also bottles several other varieties, including a "White Label" that is bottled in bond, an "Evan Williams 1783" bourbon that is produced in more limited quantities, and a nine-year-old single barrel bourbon sold in vintage-dated bottles sealed with black wax. Occasionally available in some regions is a "Green Label" variety that is 80 proof and represents a younger, lighter-bodied version of the bourbon found in "Black Label" bottles at a more affordable price.
