Tastes

YMMV for a single barrel, but this is way overrated. It's too dilute without much going on. Get the Evan Williams Bottled in Bond.

This is really nice, but it would be so much better with a couple more years of barrel aging.

I purchased a bottle for myself after tasting the one I gifted a friend, which was amazing. I must've gotten a bad or old batch, though, because instead of the full, rich, sweet, balanced experience of my friend's bottle, mine was thin and awful bitter wood the whole way down.
