Special features: The Evan Williams 8 Year Single Barrel is produced at the renowned Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky. This bottling comes from a limited edition that was distilled in 2016 and selected in 2024. It matures in fresh barrels made of American white oak, which has a characterful influence on its taste. With an alcohol content of 43.3%, this Straight Bourbon presents itself as a full-bodied bottling without smoky notes.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: The nose reveals notes of vanilla, burnt caramel, and sweet oak. Fine spices and a hint of dried orange peel accompany these aromas.
Palate: On the palate, toffee, cinnamon, and baked apple skin unfold. A mild sweetness meets fine oak notes and a touch of nutmeg.
Finish: The finish is medium-long and smooth. Vanilla, caramel, and a slightly dry spiciness linger pleasantly.
