The Toast of the Town – Literally
Hear the clink of ice and the pour of amber as we revel in the stories of saviors who have set benchmarks not just in bourbon-making, but in community-making too. The noble class of 2022 brims with extraordinary veterans, whose tales of valor paint the American skies.

A Pour for the Brave
The American-Made Heroes Foundation Fund, oh what a sight! Launched in the year of vision – 2020 – it continues the hallowed tradition which began with the Evan Williams American-Made Heroes program and its special labeling in 2015. With a tally of 48 veteran heroes already on the Evan Williams roll of honor and a donation kitty that’s $450,000 strong, these special edition bottles are making waves in the nonprofit veteran support sphere.
Bourbon, Bravery, and the Undying American Spirit
“American-made and American-owned” – a mantra that Evan Williams Bourbon wears proudly on its sleeve. “It is our salute to the brave,” claims Julie Cole, Evan Williams Bourbon Senior Brand Manager, “an ode to those who serve with their hearts both home and away.” It’s not just about sharing heroic stories, folks. It’s about amplifying calls to action and championing causes that touch the veteran community deeply, many of which address key concerns like PTSD and TBI recovery programs.
Bottling Courage, One Hero at a Time
Follow the bourbon brick road to the heart of what the American Hero Edition really stands for – six astounding stories of those who’ve donned the uniform. From the windswept plains of South Dakota to the sunny strides of Florida, these heroes, with their Nonprofit Veteran Support initiatives, remind us that being an Evan Williams American-Made Hero is not just about past glories; it’s about a continuous journey of triumph and goodwill.

Hardy making strides with the BattleBetty Foundation. Each face that adorns an American Hero Edition bottle isn’t just a portrait; it’s a mosaic of service and sacrifice.
