Evan Williams Extra Aged

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. Light golden colour. A big nose with lots of oak, vanilla and a touch of marmalade. Crisp entry on the palate with spicy oak and a light grainy touch. Develops well with more oak coming through, a little mint and apple and then finishing with a rich slightly rustic note and a kick from the spirit.
