Evan Williams Black Label Bourbon 70cl 40% ABV

Why it stands out

Evan Williams Black Label is a Kentucky straight bourbon that keeps things classic: proper bourbon warmth, a rounded texture and a flavour profile that does not overcomplicate itself. It is made by Heaven Hill in Kentucky and built on the distillery’s traditional bourbon mashbill, then aged longer than the legal minimum in new charred oak. The result is a bottle with real bourbon character, but one that still feels accessible and easy to pour.

Flavour profile

You get vanilla and mint on the nose, followed by oak, brown sugar and caramel through the palate. It is smooth rather than punchy, with enough richness to drink neat, but still tidy and balanced in a classic serve like an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Ginger.
