Evan Williams White Label

Everything it's cracked up to be: sweet, well-rounded, and likable. Nothing complicated, but what it does, it does well. As one reviewer said — it's fun.

At first taste, reminded me of Metaxa 12!

The only thing that grates is the price. You can pick this up for less than $15 in the US, and for the price you pay in the UK (nearly £35), there's better whisk(e)y to be had.

Still, it makes a pleasant change, and it's not often you get moreish, sippable booze from a bottle with a white plastic screwtop lid.

The prev review below is spot on:

Without water: HOT! The hottest 100 proof BiB I ever tasted, quite a bite on the ol' tongue and it masked whatever flavor it gave. I usually like over-proof whiskeys, but this one was a tad aggressive, even for me, so I added a tablespoon of water.

With Water, some good things happened: A rich, toffee, cinnamon taste and you have a clear sense of the casks in the finish, with some citrus fruit also. Very nice for the price.

Very "juicy" and enjoyable.
Balanced, smooth, a little bit of a bite (wich I like), slight salty caramel,
"nutty", hints of cherry, vanilla, raisins,
apricot/orange marmelade, maybe some herbal notes aswell.
Great quality for the price.

What a great whisky, and what a great price. I love my expensive single malts, and can afford them. But, I still enjoy Evan b&b and think it has a great taste. If all I could afford was evan I wouldn't feel bad. Good stuff.

Absolutely delicious! Intense wood, caramel, pecan flavours-superb!

Evan Williams White Label is rich and full-bodied, a real value in the USA, because it can be had for $23.00 for a 1.75 liter bottle. I am not going to talk about all the cinammon and leather notes, because I am not good at detecting these things. What I do know is that it is a real solid and dependable bourbon, it is not strictly a "mixer;" it is perfectly suited to be taken neat, on the rocks, or as a mixed drink. I have a large respect for it.

Just tried E.W. White Label and it’s delicious.

I love good single malt scotch, but can't afford it as a daily dram. I drink Evan b&b five days a week. I have tried other budget bourbons, but nothing else beats the value, or taste.
