Evan Williams
7 Year Old
Evan Williams is a brand of whiskey that has been around since 1783. The Evan Williams Extra Aged variety is a newer addition to the line, and it's made with Evan Williams' signature Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This whiskey is aged for a minimum of seven years in new, charred oak barrels.
Evan Williams Extra Aged whiskey has a rich, amber colour and a distinctively smooth flavour. It's perfect for sipping on its own or using in cocktails. If you're looking for a truly unique whiskey experience, Evan Williams Extra Aged is definitely worth trying.
Rich with vanilla and caramel on the nose which continues on the palate, it's produced by the Heaven Hill company in Kentucky.
Caramel apples, spearmint, black pepper. A light hint of corn sits in the background. A slightly spicy kick of clove.
Raisins and walnuts. Creamy vanilla at the core, with an underpinning hint of vegetal oak. Zesty orange oil.
Quite spicy, with drying notes of cinnamon bark and pine nuts.

This is a really excellent, smooth, fresh and balanced bourbon. In my opinion there is a lot of nonsense in spirits that relates 1) age 2) price and 3) darkness to quality. This has none of the cloying sweet corniness that makes many bourbons ( in my opinion ) undrinkable and sickly. Fresh and characterful.

Very smooth.
It's a good bourbon and a good value. I like the spicy qualities of the nose, palate, and finish particularly the latter. My preference is for more complexity in my whiskies though this is one that I would consider sipping again though I probably would not go out of my way to get it.
I am no bourbon expert nor do or have I gone taste testing with different brands and flavors. But I have had brands that cost much more than this cost (Woodford, Makers Mark) and to me the taste and experience with Evan Williams is equal with those. This is always my go to brand for bourbon when I am at the store.
