Evan Williams Black Label Bourbon Tasting Notes

Nose

Corn sweet, leaning into citrus sweet, with a hint of vanilla and a dash of rye spice cinnamon

Finish

The finish is lightly sweet, with a moderately warm and mid-length run.

Color

Light amber & coppery honey

Palate

The flavor kicks with a solid current of oak to start, with a layer of that corn-leaning-to-citrus sweetness underneath. A pinch of rye spice emerges about in the middle, along with a trace of oak
