Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage
Some sort of clever opening about why I am reviewing this or other witty thoughts go here.
I found some small test tube like bourbons that are part of a sampler. These have been sitting around for years. Perhaps these are now vintage? At any rate, I want to clean out some of the clutter, so I set up to take a quick picture and write a review. There are two of these test tube like samples, so stay tuned for a future review soon.
This is Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and comes in at 86.6 proof. I am starting to learn that I like the pop of the higher proof products, but I am always willing to try a new Bourbon.
Nose: Slight ethanol, with a complex mix of oak and grain. The nose certainly is inviting, and one of the better aromas from Bourbon I have had recently.
Pop: This is a subtle bourbon when it enters the palette. This is a subtle Bourbon, which might be due to the lower proof.
Taste: Mild and slightly fruity. What really stands out is the amazing body. The Bourbon gently swishes around the mouth and gently warms everything up.
Finish: It goes down gently, leaving a slightly tingling tongue.
I don’t know if this is available anymore, but this is an excellent sipping Bourbon if one likes a mild, more subdued taste. The body of the Bourbon makes for an enjoyable, relaxing experience.
