Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2014

On the nose notes of caramel, burnt brown sugar, vanilla, apricot, and rye spices are present. Further wafts bring out traces of green apple, and unripened melon. Pleasant and welcoming aromas. On the palate much of the notes expressed on the nose are lost and a very simple and uncomplicated caramel, vanilla, and toffee fill the roof of the mouth with the back of the throat hit with a very mild expression of the pepper spices. The finish is fairly quick as well with only the pepper lingering. Overall: Nose 3.5/5: Taste: 3/5 Overall 3.25 Repurchase: No Type: Daily Drinker

Flavorful considering for a sub 90 proof whiskey with notes of oak, vanilla, and a little marshmallow. However still a bit warm/spicy given it's proof. Feels a bit thin and watery on the palate. I can't ignore the price here. It feels like you are paying for the single barrel vintage. For the proof there are other whiskeys I'd prefer that are cheaper. And for the price, there are other more flavorful higher proof whiskeys I'd also prefer.

Sub-par. It's not bad, but better exists. I feel like the proof is way too low for this 8 year old whiskey. This is a just boring sip. And the fact it's gone from $25-30 to nearly $40 over the last couple years is a bit ridiculous. This will almost certainly be my last Evan Williams single barrel. I'll pick up Four Roses single barrel at this price point instead. Barreled on 1-21-14 Barrel No. 372 Bottled on 3-30-22

Vanilla, caramel, and floral notes on the nose. First sip offers spicy clove, oak, char, and a hint of peaty. This has a good smokey finish and long legs. The full mouth feel and smooth smoky finish really compliment each other. Ice pulls more smoke and peaty out. I like this one and recommend it.

Definitely worth the money! Very, very well balanced bourbon. It’s smooth, sweet and oily. After comparison tasting, that’s the rank list as per my taste: 1. Evan Williams Single Barrel 2. Jack Daniel’s #27 Gold Maple Wood Finish 3. Blanton’s Original Single Barrel 4. Wild Turkey Barrel Proof

Watered down way too much, this should be at least bib. Why take an 8 year old whiskey and ruin it. This is sweetened brown water with alcohol and a touch of barrel.
