First Impressions
Evan Williams Single Barrel is the only vintage-dated single barrel bourbon available — each bottle shows the vintage year, bottling year, and barrel number. From Heaven Hill (78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malt), aged 7-8 years. The vintage dating means every bottle has individual character.
Tasting
The nose is honey and oak with Heaven Hill nuttiness. On the palate at 43.3%, charred honey with baked apple and spice. The finish is medium with lingering spice.
The Verdict
Evan Williams Single Barrel earns a 7 — the vintage-dated concept is unique and the bourbon delivers rich flavour despite modest proof. At £28, the best single barrel value in bourbon.
