Went to NH liquor store for Evan Williams BIB. They didn't have it at Franklin store so I grabbed this instead. I really enjoy the 114 but this is a different animal. Neat it noses rye spice , caramel and seasoned wood. Its light and on the surface. Palate carries a zesty caramel rye with more barrel notes albeit watered down a bit. Finishes with trailing rye and wood drying out. Its a decent 80proofer but nothing special. If you enjoy the profile upgrade to the BIB or 114 for sure. Otherwise just find Evan Williams White Label and get a better bourbon for less $$.............76/100

This, the BIB, and the 114 share a mash bill, but the 114 enters the barrel at a lower proof point which (to me anyway) makes a huge difference. I LOVE the 114, but I could take or leave the BIB and the 80 proof. Nice review!
