Evan Williams 1996 Single Barrel

Evan Williams White Label Bottled in Bond

Had my first bottle of this Heaven Hill product a year or so ago and liked it that much I've since bought another two!

Evan Williams Single Barrel 2003

I'm looking at a muted gold appearance with a minor level of sediment. The nose is quite interesting. A long sniff and I get quite a big boost of alcohol burn. There's a hint of tobacco but honestly I sense green tea, caramel, oak and vanilla extract. Maybe a hint of coconut and pine. Taste is palatable if you don't swish it around too much....

Score 77/100

Much sweeter than normal EW, it mellows amazingly when on the rocks. It's almost like a dessert whiskey, with notes of vanilla and caramel. Even if you don't like American...
