The Story

Evan Williams opened Kentucky's first distillery in 1783 on the banks of the Ohio River, and the brand that carries his name is today the #2 selling Kentucky straight bourbon brand in the world. The Green Label is its charcoal-filtered expression: the same genuine sour mash bourbon, mellowed through charcoal before bottling at 80 proof for a softer, smoother profile. Where the Evan Williams Black Label pours at 86 proof and the 1783 Small Batch is extra aged at 90, Green Label is built for everyday mixing — a full liter of honest Kentucky bourbon that has quietly been a bar-rail and backyard staple for generations.

Tasting Notes

Medium amber in the glass, with aromas of vanilla and a hint of mint. On the palate it tastes of oak, brown sugar, and caramel, carrying through to a medium-to-long finish — lighter and smoother than the Black Label, with the charcoal filtering rounding off every edge.

How to Enjoy

Green Label was made for mixing: an Evan & Cola over ice (Heaven Hill's own serve is 2 oz over ice topped with cola), whiskey sours, punches, and big-batch party drinks where the 1L format earns its keep. Smooth enough to sip on the rocks, priced for the well.
