Evan Williams Bourbon Bottled in Bond

Pound for pound, Evan Williams Bottled in Bond has to be one of the best value for money Bourbons out there. It’s one of a handful of must have daily drinkers and punches well above its weight.

Bottles in bond means exactly that, it’s bottled under supervision, in a federally bonded warehouse where it’s sat for a minimum of 4 years and at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV). It packs some punch but goes down really well.  A favourite of bar tenders the world over and definitely an essential in the home bar.
