I’ve heard of this one but never had the opportunity to try it. Being a Heaven Hill fan, I was happy to be sent a sample of this one. This particular bottle was the Japanese export, but I know you can also pick it up at the distillery. The nose is sweet with vanilla icing, toasted pecans, sweet corn, caramelized red apples and caramel. There is also some dusty grain, baking spices and baked bread. The palate is sweet and quite oily with bitter oak, a nuttiness, sweet corn, dried fruit and some spices The finish is long with an initial spike of baking spices then corn and dried fruit and then eventually to some bitter oak. Then after a while you get some nice lingering barrel char floating around on the cheeks and tongue. This is by far my favorite of all of the Evan Williams line. Now I need to get a bottle!
