"I’m glad this Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage isn’t just in Kentucky anymore. And while it may only be a one-time return to distribution, this 2015 vintage is a great bottle worth seeking out as your perfect warm up bottle to your next great whisky flight. It’s full of classic bourbon flavors, with lots of orange marmalade, oak, and that classic nutty Heaven Hill profile but with a low proof, remains and approachable whisky for all levels of drinker. It is missing some of the classic rye spice I was expecting and thus can drink soft and gentle more akin to a Makers Mark than other Heaven Hill expressions (like Elijah Craig). But at under $30 in California, this is a solid pour that delivers on the classic Evan Williams Single Barrel profile and reminds us that great deals can still be found from big name distilleries." - Chris Ellis, The Whisky Study (88 Points)
