Evan Williams Announces 2021 Derby Festival Bourbon Release Set for March 11
Is Kentucky Derby time approaching again already? How can that be? Oh right, last year’s Derby was … delayed. Well, here comes an early Derby-related announcement: Evan Williams will release a special Kentucky Derby Festival edition of its Single Barrel Bourbon.
The bottles will feature a golden-colored 2021 Pegasus Pin sealed in hot pink wax on the bottle’s neck, a free pin in an envelope and a special commemorative label. The special annual release is now in its fifth year. Each bottle will include the dates it was first put into oak barrels, the barrel number and the date it was bottled.
Starting March 11, bottles will be available at the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience in downtown Louisville for $74.99, according to a news release. The bourbon is bottled at 115 proof.
