Evan Williams Bourbon Experience - Cleo Battle, Jodie Filiatreau, Charlie Downs, Karen Williams, Max Shapira at Historic Marker

Evan Williams Bourbon Experience was the first distillery to return to LouisvilleKentucky’s Main Street commonly referred to as Whiskey Row in nearly a century. When they opened their doors back in 2013 it was a homecoming for the brands namesake Evan Williams who operated Kentucky’s first commercial distillery in the state at this location starting in 1783.

Watch Evan Williams Bourbon Experience Artisanal Master Distiller Emeritus Charlie Downs and Artisanal Master Distiller Jodie Filiatreau and friends as they roll a commemorative barrel from Louisville’s 10’3″ tall Bourbon District barrel down Whiskey Row into the front door of the distillery.

Then listen to Heaven Hill’s President Max L. Shapira as he introduced the first bourbon ever released from this barrel a day distillery – ‘Square 6’ a five year old 95 proof small batch bourbon.
