With this very special bottle of Evan Williams, you'll be the envy of the neighborhood. The critics love this batch!

Right after pouring, notes of cinnamon sticks, toasted crème brulee, and fresh cut lumber fill the room. It's amazing how quickly it envelopes its surroundings. Sweet notes of candied orange, honeydew melon, and toffee also appear. This is a fabulous nose - not overpowering but with an elegant character about it.

On the first taste, you're immediately greeted with dark, robust flavors of cocoa, antique wood, demerara sugar, and berries. It has a great silky, mouthfeel that coats the tongue nicely. After a few sips, more flavors of creamy raspberries, hazelnut vanilla syrup, honey, and nutmeg come forward and integrate nicely with a strong backbone of aged oak. Medium length finish of bright, sugared coated candy snacks, mixed with wood polish, a touch of rye spice that ends on a brighter and lively note than the palate. Some wood still shows up, but its balanced nicely by the sweetness and never goes dry. There is a touch of spice but at 101 proof, it remains full bodied without an outright intensity.

This bottle has an easy and enjoyable finish on an unabashedly approachable whiskey - which is why we packaged it with glassware. Feel free to open after the Ball!
