A classic in every sense of the word, Evan Williams White Label Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey is a favourite of the back-bar around the world. Bottled at a higher ABV than the regular Evan Williams, the White Label is pleasantly warming with black pepper and cinnamon spice.
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!
Fantastic.
