Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2010

I’d expect a single barrel to be at least 90 proof, but for ~$30, this definitely brings enough complexity to really enjoy. It’s an easy sipper that is smooth and enjoyable for any occasion. Mint is a common theme, with a nice balance of sweetness. Medium finish. Overall a solid pour! 7.9/10

Great! Oak with a bit of heat. Much depth and complexity. If I could find this barrel (1265) again I would buy a case immediately! Can’t find anything better for the price!

Nose: Red Apple, Pepper, Oak, Young grain, Sour rye Taste: Pepper, Cinnamon, Oak, heat, Buttery finish, Somewhat mellow rye, Quite mellow so the bottle is probably pretty oxidized

Bottle poured neat into Glencairn at home. Barreled on 7-23-10, barrel 49, bottled on 11-27-17. Nose has the caramel and butterscotch I loved from the 2011, though not as prominent; lots of oak comes on, along with some heat. Taste is oaky and spicy, with some citrus notes. Nice long aftertaste, drinks a tad hotter than the proof. Decent, though I prefer the 2011. 6/9/19

2010: Nose: having trouble getting much. Very smooth. My bottle be too oxidized. Some grains and young oak. Taste: lots of yummy bright spices rolling around with green apples and oakyness. Lasting spice tingling finish.
