    Evan Williams is SO underated, everyone judges by the price. They have great whiskeys, and your blind taste test showed that. But even better is their white label BIB, their single barrel, their 1783. They are all good! Forget snobbery....choose for taste.

      I agree, thats why we do head to heads, and why we go into all of our reviews without doing any research.

      +Bridon Just curious, why do you prefer the EW white label over the black label?

    • @kybrewreview
      @kybrewreview  5 років тому +1

      I like black label. But only because I rarely get white.

    • @joeengland3655

      black label is a bit more sweet with a vanilla flavor... and BiB is more woody... i love em both

      I find that the most fair tasting would come from both freshly opened bottles. A bottle that contains mostly air, the character is different. As with wine, if two or three fingers remain in the atmosphere of air in the bottle, the alcohol is partially escaped from the whiskey! Also, alcohol leaves the bottle when you open it. poof. So, fair test= both fresh new bottles. Another test= leave each contender in the glass for ten or twenty minutes. It will be different, as with wine. Cheers!

    For me the slight edge goes to EW. More proof less cost and a little more spicy oak to it which I like but nothing wrong with Jim either.

    I have aged both of them in white oak barrels for 38 days and it mellowed them out quite a bit but probably coincide with you guys with the Evan Williams. I'm going to age me another 2 liter barrel of that this weekend. Thanks guys!

    Evan Williams is the best cheap bourbon. It's easy to abuse the sweet mellow flavor when mixing with A&W root beer. Beam is great with Dr. Pepper or, with a regional mixer from New England, Moxie.

    • @kybrewreview
      @kybrewreview  5 років тому

    • @robertpoche1585
      @robertpoche1585 4 роки тому +1

      Exactly right. The EW fades under Coke and other mixers. The EW is better than the Beam, but not for bourbon and coke.

      Try mixing it with zero Pepsi, it's not as sweet of a cola which allows the whiskey flavor of EW black label to come through.

    Evan is my house whiskey. Can't beat the price for the amount you get and tastes as good if not better than the competition. I do like Jim Beam's flavored collection. Maybe I'm trippin or just drunk but didn't you guys have a big bottle where ya'll were just mixing a bunch of liquor in it?
