The Evan Williams 2010 Single Barrel Vintage #1092 is a distinguished Kentucky Straight Bourbon, meticulously aged for 8 years, surpassing the minimum requirement of 2 years for this classification. Distilled at the renowned Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc., this bourbon shares its heritage with notable names like Elijah Craig. With a mash bill consisting of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% barley, this single barrel bourbon was filled into cask #1089 on March 15, 2010, and bottled on September 25, 2018, achieving a balanced ABV of 43.3%. The spirit is noted for its thick, creamy texture and a complex palate featuring hints of macadamia nut, nutmeg, marzipan, and pink pepper, enhanced by floral notes of lilac and violet, and undertones of leather, old wood, and pastry. This well-balanced bourbon presents a pleasing dryness and a harmonious woodiness, with lilac notes developing pleasantly in the finish, adding floral, sweet, and bitter dimensions.
On the nose, it reveals a sweet, greedy profile with citrus fruit notes, mainly orange with a hint of lemon. There are rich caramel and vanilla aromas, accompanied by a subtle cinnamon and moderate oakiness, complemented by a soft nutty note. With aeration, the aroma evolves towards orange peel and clove, with oak wood trying to emerge.
On the palate, the bourbon is drier than initially expected with a dominant vanilla sweetness that evokes a Wheated Bourbon. The flavors transition to blond caramel, allowing room for pepper and cinnamon, with minimal woodiness and a slight oak hint. Subsequent sips become more greasy and indulgent, reminiscent of butterscotch, characterized by a fatty and unctuous quality.
The finish is quite long, delivering subtle red fruit notes with lingering vanilla from start to finish. Though not very complex, it is beautifully indulgent and not overly dry. This bourbon stands out within its price range, appealing to a broad audience without a strong typicity but with an inherent charm that warrants attention.
