Evan Williams White Label Bottled in Bond Bourbon

Plenty of creamy vanilla and drinkable like an afternoon tea. Fantastic even without the great proof to price ratio.

Such value in a delicious, low cost BiB. Nose- delicate blend of vanilla custard, caramel & spice Palate- lighter body than black label but still sweet notes of caramel & pastry along with back notes of baking spice & toasted Oak Finish- short; tapers out but does not disappoint. Everyday Bourbon for $11ish & 100 Proof? Yes please. I wouldn’t technically say better than black label but is 14pts higher in proof for negligible price increase.

Bonded. Few drops of water in it, and it's perfect.

N: caramel, cream pie, banana bread P: banana cream and mint with hints of pine, mid palate distinct Walnut and oak F: more banana and hints of cinnamon, vanilla, long Unrefined, sharp flavors don't deter your next sip. This sub-$20 whisky belongs on your shelf, without question. A decent pour at any price, this is an extraordinary value for what I paid.

This bottle is one of the best value picks or bottom-shelf standouts in the market. That being said, it's still a $15 bottle so, at the end of the day, punching above its weight class means that it drinks more like a $20-30 bottle rather than Kentucky's finest. Evan Williams releases are good "teaching bourbons" in the sense that they can introduce newcomers into some of the basic bourbon flavors. This one features a light, creamy vanilla, a small helping of caramel, and some light honey and spice reminiscent of Four Roses Small Batch. For a 50% ABV whiskey, it has a lickety-split finish. To be honest, if I'd known about this in college, I would have had it all the time. But, happily, I can extend the liquor budget a little further nowadays.
