Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey is the second-best selling whiskey worldwide. It's also the official bourbon of the Championship Bull Riding events. You can drink it as a shot, on the rocks or in mixed drinks.

Identification

A 1-oz shot of Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey has 69 calories, according to DrinksMixer.com. That's the same number of calories other popular whiskeys have.

Fun Fact

Evan Williams is sometimes served with other whiskeys in a drink called the "six wise men." Drink this 6-oz beverage and you'll consume 414 calories.

Considerations

Pour a shot that's a bit bigger -- 1.5 oz -- and you're getting the same amount of alcohol in a 5-oz glass of wine or a 12-oz beer, according to Medline Plus. Your calorie count will be a bit different, however. A 12-oz beer will have 149 calories and a 5-oz glass of red wine about 100. That compares to about 104 calories in your whiskey, based on the DrinksMixer.com calorie count.
