Evan Williams 1993 43.3% Single Barrel

Notes - Declared “America's Native Spirit” by a 1964 act of Congress. Heaven Hill was originally established as a Bourbon distiller in 1934, and today holds the world's second largest holding of aging Kentucky Bourbon in 42 open rick warehouses situated throughout Nelson County, the heart of “Bourbon Country.” By law, Bourbon must be made up of at least 51% corn and be aged a minimum of two years in a new charred white oak barrel, standards that were pioneered by early Bourbon makers such as Evan Williams and Rev. Elijah Craig. This super-premium bottling of Evan Williams' flagship brand is the world's only vintage-dated Single Barrel Bourbon and is one of the world's most acclaimed whiskeys. The first American Whiskey ever to win The Spirit Journal 's Whiskey of the Year award, Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage is bottled solely from one barrel hand-selected by Master Distillers Parker and Craig Beam. "The medium amber color is bright...the opening sniffs after the pour display the trademark gentle, fruit-like sweetness / graininess of Evan Williams - time in the glass affords the chance for the bouquet to deepen and grow complex as layers of aroma include milk chocolate, marshmallow, sugar cookies and freshly mown hay; the palate entry is concentrated, sweet, mildly oaky/resiny and medium-bodied - by midpalate, there's an embers-glow warmth on the tongue, followed by sturdy, woody tastes of oaky vanillin and almond butter; the finish shows a minor touch of honey; the remarkable legend of EW Vintage Single Barrel continues with this luscious addition; one of the five or six whiskeys that I genuinely look forward to every time it's released as a new bottling; Craig and Parker Beam are wizards in the selection of these utterly sensational bourbons; continues to be one of the finest whiskey values in the world."
