Evan Williams 750ml

The peppery spice and dark fruit notes make it a great sipper, and I love how the citrus rind adds a nice tang at the end. For the price, this punches way above its weight class.

The caramel corn and vanilla notes come through nicely, especially with a splash of water. It's smooth enough to sip neat on a weeknight without feeling guilty about the price.

I picked up a bottle for a casual tasting and the peppery spice really stands out against the dark fruit—way more complex than I expected for the price. The citrus rind gives it a clean finish that keeps me coming back for another sip.
