Evan Williams Single Barrel 2000

Very elegant bright and silky smooth with honey-kissed summer fruits subtle tropical fruit (papaya coconut pineapple) gentle caramel sweet corn and soothing vanilla along with a dusting of cinnamon nutmeg and crisp mint. Pleasing gently spicy finish. The most impressive aspect of this whiskey isn’t its variety of flavors (they are fairly traditional for a bourbon this age) it’s their integration and remarkable balance! It’s also perilously drinkable. I can’t speak for the other barrels but if you can track down some bottles of Barrel No. 1 buy two! You won’t be disappointed. Let me also note what a great value this whiskey is compared to the way other premium American whiskeys are being priced.
