Tasting note
- Nose : Riche, vif et marqué par un fort boisé, il dévoile des notes de noix de pécan, d'écorce d'orange séchée et d'épices douces, le tout réuni par un caractère doux et onctueux (miel d'acacia et sirop d'érable). A l'aération il devient moins onctueux, mais plus fin et des notes mentholées sont plus évidentes.
- Palate : En bouche il est puissant et plein de caractère. Une fois que le palais s'est habitué à l'alcool, on sent davantage les notes de fruits (orange, citron confit) et de plantes (menthe, basilic). Un fin boisé apporte de la structure tandis que la douceur des notes de sirop d'érable assurent la matière.
- Overall : La finale est douce, malgré la puissance en bouche initiale, longue et subtile, marquée par une fraîcheur mentholée.

The brand
Like Elijah Craig and Henry Mckenna, Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon is part of the range of products created by the Heaven Hill distillery to commemorate the historic pioneers of American whiskey. It has three main versions: the first, aged between five and seven years, with a black label bearing the same name as the brand; the second, a rarer version, Evan Williams 1783; and lastly its vintage bottlings, the Evan Williams Single Barrels, a series of whiskeys bottled from one single cask. For some time the brand has also included other liqueurs: Evan Williams whiskey blended with cinnamon, honey and cherries.
