EvanWilliamsSingleBarrelBourbonVintage2010(700mL)

<p>Another winning Vintage Single Barrel Bourbon from Even Williams that we adore. </p><p><em>Heaven Hill Distillers</em> is unique. They are one of the <em>oldest</em> and <em>largest</em> Bourbon distillers in the world, they have the<em> second largest</em> standing inventory of aging Bourbon, and they have grown to become the <em>seventh largest supplier</em> of Spirits in the US. BUT… they are <em>still family owned</em>. In fact, they are the only family-owned production house left in Kentucky. You’ve got to respect the <em>Shapira family!</em> The Spirit brands owned and controlled by Heaven Hill includes Evan Williams, Elijah Craig, their namesake Heaven Hill, and many dozens more.</p><p>Each year, Bourbon aficionados around the world wait eagerly for the<em> annual Even Williams Vintage Single Barrel release</em>. For the 2019 edition, they picked a few barrels that were distilled in mid 2010 and bottled at the end of 2018 — delivering a <em>smooth character </em>at more than eight years old and 43.3% ABV. All the stats are listed right there on the bottle — even the<em> specific barrel number</em>. And part of the awesomeness of drams like this is that it is a true single barrel, so there will be <em>differences between bottles</em> if they came from different casks. That means you can keep on enjoying it <em>again and again</em> as if it were new.</p><p>Smartass corner:<em>The original Evan Williams is a legend. In 1783 he opened one of the first commercial distilleries in Kentucky on 5th Street in downtown Louisville. Then, like now, location is everything. It was a combination of high-quality Whiskey and easy access to the city that spurred his success.</em></p>
