Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Smooth, easygoing, and budget-friendly, Evan Williams Green Label Bourbon suits casual sipping, simple highballs, and laid-back gatherings. Bottled at 40% ABV, this Kentucky straight bourbon from the United States is made in the classic bourbon style, with a corn-forward mash bill, oak barrel aging, and a mellow profile that keeps it approachable.

Its flavors lean toward caramel, vanilla, light oak, toasted grain, and a touch of gentle spice. With barbecue ribs, the bourbon’s sweetness plays well against smoky, tangy sauce, while its oak and spice echo the char. With pecan pie, its caramel and vanilla notes blend naturally with the nutty, buttery richness.

Producer Information: Heaven Hill Distillery

Heaven Hill Distillery is based in Bardstown, Kentucky, with major distilling operations also tied to Louisville’s Bernheim Distillery. The company began in 1935, shortly after Prohibition ended, when the Shapira family and a group of Kentucky investors entered the bourbon business. Still family-owned, Heaven Hill focuses on traditional American whiskey production, using grain mash bills, Kentucky limestone water, fermentation, distillation, and maturation in new charred oak barrels across large rickhouse inventories.

Beyond its core whiskey labels, Heaven Hill has a broad spirits portfolio that includes Evan Williams, Elijah Craig, Larceny, Old Fitzgerald, Rittenhouse Rye, Henry McKenna, and Mellow Corn. The company also produces and markets other categories such as Christian Brothers brandy, Deep Eddy vodka, Lunazul tequila, Admiral Nelson rum, Burnett’s gin and vodka, PAMA pomegranate liqueur, Hpnotiq, and Carolans Irish Cream, giving it a strong presence across bourbon, rye, brandy, tequila, rum, vodka, gin, cream liqueurs, and flavored spirits.
