Evan Williams White Label Bottled in Bond Bourbon

Nose is peanut brittle, nougat, chocolate, sugar, lemon. Body is salt, caramel, sugar, walnuts. It’s funky, but pretty classic bourbon notes. It’s a Kit Kat bar. Very sweet. Heavy brine note. Finish is cinnamon, praline, cream. Bitter dark chocolate. This seems like a solid dessert whiskey. It packs a punch for a bottom shelfer. Big thanks to @freeeeeeeedom for this bottle. This is not the type of thing I would’ve hunted on my own, but I’m very happy to have it. This one is right up there with WT101 and Benchmark in a “top of the bottom shelf” kind of way. It’s bottom shelf with mid shelf aspirations.

Vanilla and custard on the nose, smooth and sweet on the palate, caramelized taste. My favorite of the cheaper options.

Great value for its proof and quality. Sweet vanilla, rich for its age. But it’s youth shows up in a negative way, too.
