About Evan Williams Black
Evan Williams Black Label is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon produced by Heaven Hill Brands, bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof), offering exceptional value at $14.25 for 750ml, with sizes also available in 1000ml and 1750ml. What makes it special is its smooth, rich character from extended aging beyond legal requirements, delivering classic bourbon flavors of oak, vanilla, cherry, and baking spices at a budget price, making it one of the most undervalued options in its category. Ideal for everyday drinkers, beginners, and cocktail enthusiasts seeking quality without premium cost, it shines neat, on the rocks, or mixed. Compared to pricier siblings like Single Barrel or Bottled-in-Bond, Black Label lacks age statements or unique traits but provides a standard, reliable profile that's satisfactory for sipping and superior for mixing, outperforming many sub-$20 bourbons in versatility and drinkability.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose opens strong with oak, cherries, and vanilla, evolving to reveal green apple and minerally chardonnay notes with a hint of alcohol as it breathes. Lighter scents of orange zest, caramel, brown sugar, and baking spices also emerge, though subdued overall. Traditional bourbon aromas dominate without overwhelming intensity.
👅 Palate
Smooth and medium-bodied with pleasant warmth, it offers lightly sweet notes of oak, fresh bread, baking spices, caramel, honey, and light cherry. Chalky vanilla, charred oak, muddled orange rind with brown sugar, and slight rye spice provide a balanced, classic profile. The mouthfeel is pleasant, transitioning from a gentle start to deeper flavors without harshness.
✨ Finish
The finish lingers with bready character, sweet cherry, light oak astringency, gentle rye spice, charred oak, and warming pepper that surprisingly endures for its proof. Black pepper builds gradually alongside fading sweetness.
