Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2011

Nose: candied pecans, butter, apple juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, oak, black pepper, some rye, a little heat Taste: burnt brown sugar, honey, heat, oak, finish starts with black peppery, then leads to a sour rye/maple note.

**Duplicate entry from the non-vintage listing.** Bottle pour, neat, into Glencairn at home. Barreled on 1-5-11, barrel 3, bottled on 11-13-18. Nose is smooth caramel and butterscotch, some overripe apples. Beautiful. Taste brings some oak and spice to the mix, but the caramel stays underneath as a great base. Really nice, with a very pleasant lingering sweetness accented with just a hint of heat. Quite good. 6/8/19

Comapred an old 2010 bottle to the 2011. Nose: Mellow. Corn, some spice, toffee Taste: Sweetness, a little sour touch, rye spices come and go. Finish leaves lasting oak, some apple, and a little heat - yum! While my 2010 bottle might be a bit oxidized, i think the 2011 is ultimately sweeter, spicier, and better. The 2010 was smooth from when I first pened it, but the 2011 has some wonderful spice notes.

Perfect gateway bourbon for friends who think drinking neat isn't their thing.

Recommendation: Easy to drink, great for a beginner. Just...okay. Smell: So sweet it’s almost flat, but I loved the smell Taste: smooth finish, a lot of caramel. Almost a bit dry but light tasting. Price: $28 I think it’s overpriced by a few dollars

nice oak ...Sweet and salty ... earthy and floral
