We were surprised by how much we loved this bourbon. Well, we shouldn't have been. Evan Williams has been delivering high-quality goods for unbeatable value for years now. The nose at first was very floral with lavender, jasmine, and rose, with a hint of dill and fresh potpourri. High- toned, but with a medium body, the palate shows cardamom, honey, oak resin, bitter caramel, and more.
