Evan Williams, the namesake of the best-selling bourbon after Jim Beam, came
from Wales. He came to Virginia and settled in what is now Kentucky around 1780,
where he established a small distillery on the Ohio River. According to a
newspaper account in the Louisville Courier-Journal of April 29, 1889, Williams
belonged to the Louisville Town Meeting, and tradition has it that he never came
to a meeting without a bottle of whiskey. Today, the two Master Distillers,
Parker and Craig Beam, oversee all distillation and production. Since their
family has been involved in bourbon making for generations, knowledge and tools
of the trade, including a secret family recipe for the yeast strain, have always
been passed down.

The award-winning Evan Williams BOTTLED-IN-BOND bourbon is 78% corn, 12% malted
barley and 10% rye. It serves as a tribute to Evan Williams to continue to keep
the history of American whiskey alive. This bottling is one of the few
bottled-in-bond bourbons still available and shares the legacy of Evan Williams
Black Label, the second largest brand of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, not
only in the United States, but worldwide. This bourbon whiskey is aged longer
than is legally required. The BOTTLED-IN-BOND designation stands for whiskeys
that are bottled at 100 proof, have a minimum age of four years and are produced
by a single distillery.
