Evan Williams 12 Year Bourbon

Cinnamon

Evan Williams 12 is my regular go-to when I'm in a bourbon mood. I love its smooth, rich complexity, especially if you take your time and warm the glass properly. Oddly, it's readily available here in Japan, and until a couple of years ago for about $20. It now sells for around $30, but that's still outstanding value for one of the best and most consistent drams around.

Mannnn this is a solid juice!!!! Nose:oak is apparent from the get go,I get almost like this coconut macaroon vibe but with a sour smell at the end...... it’s very reminiscent of the old Ezra 7yr 101 smell but with more of an oak sour hint to it Taste: the body is the perfect combination of smooth and thick but not too thick to where you feel like chewing in wood (example parker’s heritage 23yr) , this has a nice tongue feel a gentle spice for the proof .,the oak is there reminds me some of EC 12small batch oak but a hint higher proof the tingle of the tongue is gentle and inviting. The finish is sweet spicy hints of vanilla and gentle oak not overly tannic. Honestly if price wasn’t involved this would be a daily for me !!!!!!! I paid 50 from a friend that went to Japan and for that price I’m more than happy ! If it was readily available for that price idk if it’d be an everyday but I’d definetly have one on deck at all time ! Overall rating regardless of price 89 Pours I like more that are In The similar profile and proof range ..... rowans creek, and Noah’s mill Pours I like a little bit less but similar in profile and proof Old Ezra 7yr 101(they’re very similar just add 5years in to the same mash bill and wallahhhh it’s EW12yr) WT101, fighting cock

Tasted at Evan Williams; great nose, too much bite at the end.
