Evan Williams Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey follows a heritage of excellence established nearly 200 years ago. It was in 1783 that Evan Williams founded the first commercial distillery in the area that was admitted into the Union in 1792 as the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The basic processes used by Evan Williams are still employed by our little, family owned distillery. These tradition-laden methods are responsible for the rich, unique flavour of Evan Williams Bourbon. Today’s craftsmen at the Old Evan Williams Distillery feel a keen responsibility to continue the heritage established by Kentucky’s first distiller. The character of this exceptional man endures as an inspiration for excellence. We believe the character of the Bourbon honouring Evan Williams must match the character of the man. When you sip this mellow Bourbon, you are, indeed, tasting a tradition which dates back to the early days of our Republic! Evan Williams was a product of America’s most active and romantic era. He responded to his time vigorously because action was a means of survival.

Evan Williams Honey Reserve is made with honey, pure natural honey, and the same extra-aged Bourbon used to make Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey to give it a sweet Bourbon taste. It has a pale golden straw colour. The nose is soft with citrus and honey backed up by bourbon aromas. The palate shows sweet honey, allspice, vanilla and a long, slightly spicy finish.

Closure: STELVIN

Alternative wine closures are substitute closures used in the wine industry for sealing wine bottles in place of traditional cork closures. The emergence of these alternatives has grown in response to quality control efforts by winemakers to protect against "cork taint" caused by the presence of the chemical trichloroanisole (TCA).

Screw caps or "Stelvin caps" are closures made only from aluminium material that threads onto the bottleneck. They are the predominant closure used by New Zealand wineries.[8][9] This can be attributed in part to the New Zealand screw cap initiative which promotes the use of screw caps instead of cork. Screw caps form a tighter seal and can keep out oxygen for a longer time than cork. These benefits aid in maintaining the wine's overall quality and aging potential.

Vino-Seal, or Vino-Lok, is a plastic/glass closure released by Alcoa. Since its introduction into the European market in 2003, over 300 wineries have utilized Vino-Seal. Using a glass stopper with an inert o-ring, the Vino-Seal creates a hermetic seal that prevents oxidation and TCA contamination.

Zork is an alternative wine closure that seals like a screw cap and pops like a cork. The Zork closure consists of three parts; an outer cap providing a tamper evident clamp that locks onto the band of a standard cork mouth bottle, an inner metal foil which provides an oxygen barrier similar to a screw cap, and an inner plunger which creates the ‘pop’ on extraction and reseals after use.

The traditional crowned bottle cap has been used in the sparkling wine industry as a closure during the bottle fermentation process (méthode traditionnelle). Normally the cap is replaced with a cork before shipping, though recently some producers are releasing wines using the crown cap as their closure.
