Product Snapshot – Evans Williams Single Barrel Whiskey
Evans Williams Single Barrel Whiskey is a vintage-dated bourbon produced by the Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky. Though it is vintage-dated, this date corresponds to the year the whiskey was put into the barrel, rather than its age statement. Single Barrel also means each bottle only comes from one individual barrel, instead of it being blended from many.
Tasting Profile:
- Colour: Delicate amber gold
- Nose: Dark caramel, sweet oak and charred wood
- Taste: Lush and spicy. Oak with honey, apple and orange notes
- Finish: Long, graceful and relaxed
So overall, its a solid bourbon with good oak presence, sweet and fruity flavours, and a spice/pepper undertone.
Why It Stands Out:
Evan Williams Single Barrel Whiskey stands out over others, as it can be regarded as one of the more accessible ‘single barrel’ bourbons on the market – which is ideal for someone who is after that single barrel bourbon experience, without spending on a premium price. Another positive is the vintage bottle details on the label – such as the barrel number, date-entered-oak and bottling date – give it transparency and appeal to enthusiasts. It has also been considered as the premium expression in the Evan Williams line.
How to Drink:
- Its a good sipping bourbon – can be enjoyed neat or with a little water to open it up.
- Also works well in a cocktail, such as a classic cocktail like a Manhattan
- As it has a moderate proof, this is also a good choice for those newer to bourbon
