Hey everyone,
I recently was reacquainted with Evan Williams black label, which I'd avoided as a rule since college. I was pretty pleasantly surprised by it and decided to look and see what other offerings are available. I saw mention of the white label / 100 proof version (which is still on the EW site) which I don't think I've seen in southern California. My searches of the usual suspects online also turned up nothing. Is this still being bottled?
Thanks much!
If I am not mistaken the "White Label" is BiB, so perhaps altering the search accordingly may produce the results you are seeking. I can't definitively that it is still being produced, but a search for Evan Williams BiB certainly brings up plenty of sources that still sell it.
Here's a thread about EWBIB:

Post #16 has a list from HH of states that sell it. I highly recommend tracking down a bottle - it's good stuff!
Well, thanks for the info... that seems to be a pretty small target to hit. Guess I'll watch eBay for a bottle, which I am interested in solely for the value of the container as a collectible and not the contents therein (which will be promptly and properly drained, of course.)
Heaven Hill makes a bunch of pretty good, low priced BIBs that are only available in very limited markets, usually around Kentucky. Along with EW BIB, there is Old Heaven Hill BIB, JTS Brown BIB and Heaven Hill Gold Label. I've never seen any of these in California.
Evan Williams white label is the BIB expression.
This is readily available in the metro Atlanta market at $20-$22/1.75 L.
It's pretty good stuff, with a typical HH taste profile.
And I'm not related, although I'm sure we share some Welsh ancestry.:cool:

Can anyone compare/contrast Old Ezra 101 (which I have and love) and other actual Heaven Hill products of similar proof...HH BIB and EW BIB.Quote:

thanks!
I got my last bottle in a VA abc store when we were making brandy at Mt. Vernon last year. I sure did enjoy it.
It would be interesting if somebody could pull off a tasting of the 4 year old rye finished Heaven Hill made BIB's and report on any discernible difference. I believe their current labels for these are the Old Heaven Hill, JTS Brown, Evan Williams and JW Dant brands. Is HH actually able to put out a different taste profile for each label brand just on barrel selection? I'm most familiar with the Old Heaven Hill but once had a 2 ounce sampling of the Evan Williams BIB and thought it was superior.Quote:
