Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon. Image courtesy Heaven Hill. The 2005 vintage, as with all of the previous years, is bottled at 43.3% ABV (86.6 proof), and the nose is rich and spicy with clove, black pepper, honey, molasses, tobacco, and a hint of dark chocolate. The taste is spicy with black pepper, cinnamon, molasses, brown sugar, dark chocolate, and oak notes. The finish is long, smooth, and sweet with honey, molasses, and a hint of spices. The annual release of Evan Williams Single Barrel is usually one of the best bargains for Bourbon lovers, and this one is another winner! (March, 2015)
