Evan Williams Single Barrel 2001 Vintage

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 43%

Score: 93 Points

Cask #896 was bottled exclusively for Kensington Wine Market in Calgary, and it’s a Parker Beam classic. The nose is warm and spicy with brown sugar, caramel, toasted oak, and dark chocolate notes. The taste starts off with buttered popcorn as cinnamon and black pepper notes build up slowly to a very nice peak, then fade slowly to a long and subtly spicy finish with touches of caramel and honey underneath. Excellent!  (February, 2013)
