Heaven Hill Brands has announced the launch of a new series of releases from its Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey brand, in celebration of the United States’ 250th anniversary.

Evan Williams Black Label (43% ABV), Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch (45% ABV) and Evan Williams Single Barrel (58.9% ABV) will be released as special limited-edition, officially licensed America250 commemorative expressions, inviting consumers to raise a glass ahead of the nation’s historic semiquincentennial milestone in July.

Rooted deeply in American history, Evan Williams’ story has long run parallel with that of the nation itself. In 1783, the same year the United States formalised its independence at the end of the Revolutionary War, Evan Williams became Kentucky’s first licensed distiller.

Each bottle features patriotic packaging and storytelling that underscore Evan Williams’ enduring connection to America’s founding. The Black Label and 1783 Small Batch expressions, in particular, bring this heritage to life by highlighting the brand’s origins and enduring commitment to American values. The Single Barrel expression is hand-dipped in blue wax, echoing the coordinating blue tones used in the bottle’s depiction of the Statue of Liberty.

Commenting on the launch, Max Shapira, Executive Chairman of Heaven Hill Brands, said: “Evan Williams has always been intertwined with American history. As we approach the 250th anniversary of our nation, we are honoured to celebrate this historic moment with a collection that reflects the spirit, perseverance and craftsmanship that define both our country and our bourbon. These special releases are a tribute to where we’ve been and a toast to the future.”

The Evan Williams Black Label, Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch and Evan Williams Single Barrel America250 commemorative releases will be available later this month from selected retailers across the US, for the respective RRPs of $24.99, $23.99 and $39.99.
