"There's always a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon stocked at my home bar. 'White Label,' as it's known in the industry, is a bourbon that consistently punches above its weight. I've been fortunate enough to spend time at Heaven Hill Distillery and have asked their whiskey makers and distillery employees what they actually drink. Even with access to some of the best bourbons in the country, almost all of them said 'White Label.'"
"I love Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond - it's tough to beat the quality at that price. It's an excellent utility bottle because it makes a great neat pour but also functions well over ice or in a cocktail. I've recommended this bottle for years and plan to keep doing so!"
"Jim Beam Black 7-Year is what I keep at home because it hits that rare sweet spot between approachability and depth. What a lot of people don't realize is that it was once a minimum five-year bourbon and is now aged at least seven years, and that extra time in the barrel truly shows up."
