Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Warm, nostalgic, and unmistakably American, Evan Williams America 250th Edition Single Barrel Bourbon delivers classic Kentucky bourbon character with notes of caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, baking spice, and a touch of dried fruit. Bottled in the United States at 43.30% ABV, this single barrel bourbon offers the individuality of one selected barrel, bringing a smooth yet flavorful profile shaped by the traditional bourbon foundation of corn-based whiskey aged in new charred oak barrels. Its sweet oak depth and gentle spice make it a natural match for smoky barbecue ribs, while its caramel and nutty warmth also pair beautifully with pecan pie.

Producer Information: Heaven Hill Distillery

Heaven Hill Distillery was founded in 1935 in Bardstown, Kentucky, shortly after Prohibition, by the Shapira family alongside a group of local investors and master distillers rooted in bourbon country. Still family owned, the company built its identity around Kentucky whiskey made with patience, traditional mash bills, charred new American oak, and long aging in the state’s hot summers and cool winters, conditions that shape the depth and structure of its spirits. Its production philosophy leans on heritage rather than fashion, with a broad whiskey portfolio that includes Elijah Craig, Evan Williams, Larceny, Rittenhouse Rye, Henry McKenna, Old Fitzgerald, and Parker’s Heritage Collection. Beyond whiskey, Heaven Hill also produces brands such as Christian Brothers Brandy, Burnett’s Vodka, Admiral Nelson’s Rum, Lunazul Tequila, and various liqueurs, making it one of Kentucky’s most significant American spirits producers.
