Heaven Hill Distillery - Evan Williams Apple, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Blended with Apple Liqueur Bottle

Evan Williams Bourbon in Bardstown, Kentucky has announced the newest addition to its growing line of flavored whiskey with the launch of Evan Williams Apple Bourbon. The company says it marries bourbon with the crisp taste of green apples for a delicious taste experience.

Apple Flavored Bourbon Overtakes Honey Flavored Bourbon

Apple has seen heightened success across the brown spirits category as the flavor surpasses honey in popularity according to IWSR. As the flavored whiskey category has continued to expand, both established flavors like honey, and newer entrants like apple, are propelling the segment to nearly 10 million nine-liter cases, showing that flavored whiskeys are still a key growth opportunity. The addition of Evan Williams Apple rounds out the flavor offerings within the Evan Williams flavors franchise, providing retailers an opportunity to build on the franchise success. The company says that Evan Williams Honey grew at seven percent over the last 12 months.

Tasting notes provided by Evan Williams say the Apple Bourbon is crisp, green apple forward with Bourbon behind. The taste is juicy, sweet apple with hints of caramel and light spice, with a long, smooth finish of a green apple and Bourbon blend.
