Kentucky Bourbon, Meet Real Honey
Evan Williams has been Kentucky bourbon since 1783 — the first distillery on the Ohio River — and the Honey expression takes that heritage somewhere sweeter. Real straight bourbon, not neutral spirit, carries the honey liqueur, so it drinks like whiskey first and candy second: citrus and honey on the nose, a long, lightly spicy finish. It is the easy-drinking crowd-pleaser of the flavored whiskey shelf and a natural fit for anyone who finds straight bourbon too hot.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand: a nose of citrus with hints of honey; a palate of sweet honey, allspice, and vanilla with light smoke; pale golden straw color; a long, slightly spicy finish. Smoother and sweeter than the standard Evan Williams bourbon, with the honey fully integrated rather than syrupy.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a whiskey glass, on the rocks, or — the brand's signature serve — mixed with iced tea for a back-porch highball. It also works in a honeyed riff on a whiskey sour. Browse other bourbon whiskeys for its unflavored relatives.
