I weaned my cousin off JD with Evan Williams. Stronger-smoother-a lot cheaper.
I like Evan Williams, particularly their "1783" whisky.
I see they're owned by Heaven Hill, a family-owned company in Kentucky. And while they had an "Environmental Sustainability" commitment on their website, I didn't see any inclusion or diversity pledges that I found on many of the others.
So, for now, I'll keep drinking it.
Interesting note (from wiki): "All of the Master Distillers at Heaven Hill since its founding have been members of the Beam family. The original Master Distiller was Joseph L. Beam, Jim Beam's first cousin. He was followed by his son, Harry, who was followed by Earl Beam, the son of Jim Beam's brother, Park. Earl Beam was succeeded by the current Master Distillers, Parker Beam and his son, Craig Beam."
