Evan Williams Extra Aged

Evan Williams is Heaven Hill's flagship bourbon, named after the man said to have opened Kentucky's first commercial distillery in 1783. This Extra Aged bottling is the black-label expression — a Kentucky straight bourbon given a few more years in oak than the entry pours, and priced like it wants to be your everyday bottle.
Made from a corn-led mash bill with a nod of rye and aged in charred new American oak, it comes from one of the largest family-owned distillers in the US. Evan Williams is the bottle that keeps the lights on — dependable, well-made and honest value.
The nose is classic bourbon: vanilla, caramel and brown sugar, with toasted oak behind. The palate carries that through, adding a touch of mint and baking spice, all rounded and easygoing. At 43% it's smooth, with a medium, warming finish.
Nothing flashy — just a genuinely good bourbon that punches above its price.
How to Serve
Neat, over ice, or in a cocktail — it's happy anywhere. Try it in an Old Fashioned where the caramel notes shine.
Where to Drink It
Black Rock in Shoreditch for the whisky range. The American Bar at The Savoy. Boisdale of Belgravia for something relaxed.
Food Pairings
Great with smoky barbecue or a burger. Or lean sweet and pour it with a slice of banana bread.
