Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon. Image courtesy Heaven Hill.The 2006 Vintage of Evan Williams Single Barrel was released several months earlier than usual (mid-2015) after the 2005 Vintage sold out. The nose has notes of caramel candy, brown sugar, allspice, honey, vanilla, and a touch of oak. The taste has black pepper spiciness, along with vanilla, honey, brown sugar, caramel, and a nice bite of oak. The finish is smooth and sweet with honey, brown sugar, and a touch of spice. It’s hard to get good consistency from barrel to barrel, but Evan Williams Single Barrel does it year after year. (July, 2015)
