Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage

Barrel 496, barreled 4-10-10, bottled 3-15-18. Very basic bourbon but just fine. Caramel and vanilla. Sweet. Werthers original and honey.

Nose: light on the nose with saccharine sweet cola notes Palate: thinner mouthfeel given the proof — mostly vanilla coming through Finish: light, very sweet finish of medium length Light and low-complexity as expected, but a very drinkable sub-90 proof option. An excellent introduction for new bourbon drinkers.

Maybe I've bought a forgery but for now it's awful. Jim Beam is far better. Will update my rating with the next bottle.

Sweet, island fruit, slight vanilla. definite peanut in the finish. Smooth on the palate. Seem to got a little bit of lemon once I added ice, also a little cream. It’s good Nice burn but now over powering

Won our blind taste for tonight. My notes: Breast vanilla and sweet on the nose Sweet yet earthy flavor and finished with some mild pepper notes
