Well if you are looking for it-- Evan Willams Black is an AMAZING value (i think i paid $15.99 for my 1.75). On the nose There is stewed fruit, clean smoke and hints of caramelized corn in a leather bowl. The flavor follows suit in an oily mouth-feel building to articulate mellow baking spices, caramel and vanilla with a slight vegetable bitterness at the back palate that adds a nice bit of complexity to fun and simple whisky. The finish is of a medium duration and enjoyable. This is a solid bourbon. If you factor in the incredible deal-- This stuff is awesome.

Evan Williams Black is my go-to bourbon, being a struggling young professional and all. :) Thanks for reviewing it. I also find that this stuff works better in alot of cocktails than some of the smoother bourbons... sometimes you just need a strong punch over something mellow. Peace!
ReplyDeleteYeah, thanks DJ, good stuff can come in inexpensive packages.. i agree also, Evan does stand up in a cocktail wonderfully.
