Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2009
Nose:
The aromas are surprisingly present! Soft and sweet. Wildflower honey. A deed inhale reveals spicy basil.
Taste:
Medium-light body with a silky texture. Similarly to the nose, soft and light with honey sweetness and an herbal phenolic spice reminiscent of the finishing bitterness of pungent freshly muddled peppermint.
Finish:
Warm mildly, with a pleasant plasticky dryness and a bitterness of fresh pine/Spanish cedar quality. Medium-long and asking for another sip.
Overall:
Smooth with no opening needed. Not extremely complex or deep, but the honey and herbal nose and taste with the woody finish remind this scotch-drinker of his preferred profile in a speyside!
A great value for the $.
