It's been a while but I'm back!...And this time with a lady (I had to pay her a ton of money for this appearance)... I really wanted to like this more, but perhaps this barrel was a miss...Have you had a good or just ok experience with Evan Williams Single Barrels lately?

I was SO stoked when I found out that EW SiB Vintage was going to be widely available again! I had the 2013 - was able to grab the last two off the shelf two years ago before it was relegated to "Distillery-only" status. Ran right out and grabbed a bottle: Bottled 1/6/2015, Barrel no. 350, Bottled 2/15/2024. Had some last night. Love it! This is one of my favorites from any distillery, of any proof, in any price range. At under $30, it's a keeper.

The 2013 vintage from 3 years ago was the last nationwide distribution. The marker notes do happen in some Heaven Hill barrels. It's common. Single barrels are often a gamble.

@MetaPrometheus2 ай бұрын
Another Minnesota whiskey channel? 🤔 Yes EW SiB was Kentucky only starting in 2022. Started showing up again this year with no announcement apparently. Which was good in a way. The bottles got to the shelves without getting cleaned out by flippers right away. I picked up two bottles of EW SiB in the La Crosse area about six weeks ago. It's very much like Old Grand-Dad Bonded/114 to me. Cinnamon forward with caramel, vanilla, oak and some brown sugar. I like single barrel offerings. You never get the same experience twice. Yeah it can leave you with not so good bottles sometimes but hey! That's part of the adventure!

You two are pretty fun to watch and always make the wifey and me smile....the EW SiB Vintage IMHO would be better at a higher proof point say 101 at least, all the hints of a great nose and pallet are there but lost at the lower proof to me.

Sadly it became an only Kentucky avaliable release recently. I used to get them here in Arizona 12-14 years ago. As recently as 4 years ago they would be on grocery store shelfs at Frys/Kroger...not any more though. They were always a hidden cheap single barrel bottle

I just found your channel today and after watching a few videos I have to say that your wife's chaos compliments your order. Your varied palates provide a much more complete experience in the review as her straight forwardness balances well with your more verbose take. Spirits should always be shared and I think it would be a shame not to do so with your lovely wife.

“PEOPLE COME HERE FOR HONESTY.” Stick with that. Y’all also have a wide variety of whisk(e)y to go through, and I’m sure her palate will adjust to what she likes. Hopefully she ends up a whiskey gal. KZfaq algorithm worked its magic on this one. Great video.

I'm sure someone has said this but Evan William Single Barrel used to be distributed to multiple states but they stopped about 3 or 4 years ago. This year they released it to multiple states again but it is a limited run. Supposedly, what is out in the wild is all that they will be distributing outside of KY... for now. It's not great so we aren't really missing much. Costco has had it for $28 in my area and for that price... yeah its a nice to have. Looks great unopened and it's a decent enough pour. Also... at Evan William Experience in Louisville KY it's like $52. Never buy a regular bottle at the Evan Williams Experience in downtown Louisville. Only buy Distillery Exclusives in their gift shop.

It was regularly available years ago. Then it was pulled from the shelves and a distillery exclusive. Then it came back this year across the US but was more money. Seems like there is a lot of BS on the label. The wife’s eye rolls etc are precious.

Great for the proof for sure. One of my favorite starters before Livestreams. It was available everywhere until a couple of years ago. They pulled it back to Kentucky only” then hey, guess what it gets released back out every again for a limited time and the secondary market goes crazy and changes $50+ for a $25 bottle of bourbon. I do really like it but it still a $25 bottle. Great channel guys! Cheer’s! 🥃🪓
