Bottled-in-bond goes back to an 1897 Act of Congress and is still law today. To use the term, a whiskey must come from one distillery and one distilling season, be aged at least four years in a government-bonded warehouse, be bottled at exactly 100 proof, and carry the name of the distillery and the plant number where it was made and bottled. Heaven Hill makes more bottled-in-bond whiskeys than any other American distiller, and the white label is how you spot the Evan Williams version on the shelf. Next to the 43% Black Label, the extra strength brings more weight and pepper, while keeping the same easy caramel and vanilla base.

Heaven Hill’s own tasting notes:

Nose: Caramel with hints of vanilla, oak and barley.

Palate: Citrus over vanilla, with black pepper.

Finish: Warm, long and dry.

Heaven Hill suggests a simple bourbon and branch: take a first sip neat, then add a few drops of water until it tastes right to you. At 100 proof it also stands up in an Old Fashioned, a Boulevardier or a Whiskey Sour without getting lost. Pour it over a large ice cube with barbecue ribs or a slice of pecan pie. A strong-value pick for bourbon drinkers who want more punch than a standard bottling.
