Evan Williams Black Label

Smooth, good tasting whiskey at a fantastic price.

Apple and vanilla on the nose followed by chocolate and molasses on the taste. Good amount of barrel bite. One of my budget go-tos.

Nose: Sawdust, soft rye spice, Carmel apple, vanilla, nutty Palate: Buttery, tabacco, spice, sugar, apple juice, warming Finish: Oak, lingering spice, medium

My go to for a staple bourbon in bourbon and coke. A good choice for an inexpensive bourbon for parties. Similar taste to JD but much less expensive.

Sure, its a nice budget bourbon. Great price point, a liter for ~$13. A good proof, and strong mouth feel and presence. Strong, not particularly mellow. Definitely a tart sipper. Smokey, young, with not much sweetness or delicate notes, except maybe some vanilla. Note worthy for it's value, not its taste. Reach for Ezra Brooks instead: cheaper, much better, and higher proof.

Not my favorite, and not good for drinking neat. But for the price it has better quality compared to others in its range. This is definitely good for mixed drinks and barbecue sauce recipes.

Amazingly flat. Like oak water with a burn. Probably best as a mixer.

Nose: antique wood and caramel Taste: raisin, brown sugar, molasses Palete: rich, oil, bitter, spice I prefer heaven hill and this is my "go-to" cheap bourbon
