Evan Williams Single Barrel!!!

[hornitosmonster]

Man, I haven't had Evan Williams since my High School/College years. I was at Bevmo today and saw the bottles of Evan Williams...along with bottles of Everclear.

Evan Williams single Barrel could quite possibly be the best whiskey for under $25 in the US. In my opinion.

My brother in law and I love this. ITs the only Bourbon we drink and you cant beat the price.

The bottle info should be written on the back of the label, if I remember correctly.

I have an empty '95, so I should probably give this one another go some time soon.

I have only been seeing '96 vintage around here as of late. It's damn smooth and tasty though!

One thing to maybe consider, Evan Williams single barrel is just that, bottles made from batches - one barrel at time. So there is bound to be some difference between batches. Further, there is bound to be an additional layer of difference per vintage.

If I recall correctly (which I don't swear to), several people were not as impressed with the 1993 as they were the 92 & 91. Being a vintaged single barrel, the fact that the 1993 is still around - could be a rare gem but also could be telling as to the actual demand (or lack thereof) for the item.

And for the PRICE MAN!?!?!
lately i have been seeing it slowly rice at the stores locally..

[MithShrike]

Only $26.99. I normally buy Booker's or Baker's so I'm used to paying a bit more.

Definitely try the Blanton's, it's my current favorite
