If you are looking for serious, old school bourbon that holds its own dollar for dollar against any other bottling, then Evan Williams is your brand. This iconic label out of the historic Heaven Hill stable of great American whiskies inspires a passionate following and a lot of repeat sipping. This bottled in bond expression, of which there are too few left in the world, was created as a guarantee of quality, and it does not disappoint. The higher proof keeps those classic bourbon notes of caramel, vanilla, oak spice, and apples singing on the nose while the hallmark mellow flavors come through in spades on the palate.
