Most Evan Williams bourbon is sold as the mass-market "Black Label" variety, which is aged 5 to 7 years.[citation needed] Evan Williams also bottles Evan Willams 1783 bourbon in more limited quantities and a highly rated, nine-year-old single barrel bourbon sold in vintage dated bottles sealed with black wax.
Evan Williams is the second largest-selling Kentucky straight bourbon.[citation needed] Evan Williams began distilling in 1783 near Louisville, Kentucky after emigrating from Wales[2], illustrating the primacy of the Welsh whisky tradition in the United States (Jack Daniel was also of Welsh descent). Evan Williams Black is 43% alc/vol (86 proof) unlike some popular whiskeys which are 40% alc/vol (80 proof).
