Evan Williams White Label Bottled in Bond Bourbon

Fair amount of sharpie alcoholic nose, but mellows into a warm vanilla sweetness on the palate. Not the longest finish ever

Caramelly and inexplicably some mint.

Overall: Classic bourbon flavors in my eyes. If someone was just getting into bourbon (or already is), and wanted a benchmark, I'd recommend this very affordable/available option. I'd love to do a blind tasting of this with JTS BiB, OGD, Old Tub, and Early Times BiB and see where they all stack up. Nose: Caramel popcorn, buttered corn. Very corn forward (who woulda thought a bourbon would would be corn forward?). Butterscotch with some time Palate: A well frosted Cinnabon, nothing unbalanced, but well frosted. With some time the flavors separate, and develop more honey and buttery hazelnut notes. Finish: Medium short. I got faint hazelnut, but it disappeared along with the classic bourbon 'iron infused cherry'.
