So here it is, my 100th tasting review! I happened to be doing several budget bourbons lately and wanted to see how they stack up to their brothers in the same line as well as their competitors priced high and low.
The nose has vanilla, brown sugar, baked bread, and a little oak char
The palate has a nice medium mouthfeel. It is sweet and has corn, peanut brittle, vanilla and a few baking spices.
The finish is medium in length. I get some corn and baking spices that jump out at the beginning of the finish.
I think this is fantastic for the price. Nothing mind blowing, but at under $20, it competes very well. In fact, I like it more than the Evan Williams Single Barrel bottle that I had. This one (the white label) is higher proof that the SiB, which probably helps the flavor. And the fact that it’s about half the cost is very interesting. Now I need to do the white label toe to toe with their 1783...ok just did. The 1783 is more similar to the single barrel. Maybe it’s the similar proof. But this White Label (Bottled In Bond) version is definitely better than both of those.
