Evan Williams white label going nationwide

[qman22]

I'm not very confident in this coming to PA. HH offerings are very limited here for some reason. EWSB is special order only and we don't even get Parker's Heritage at all.

[WAINWRIGHT]

I am really glad to see this expansion of distribution,I will be glad to add it to the likes of my daily value pours including VOB BIB,AAA 10yr and HH 6yr.BIB.Oh wait,I guess I should write off the last two since........anyway I will be glad to see it's arrival.

[P&MLiquorsEric]

Just arrived in KY this past week. We have both 750 and 1.75s.

before I see it on the shelves, let me ask you guys point blank.....Is there enough of a difference to tell between this and the HH BIB 6 year white label? I like that, but kind of expect them to be very similar.

also tried the HH BIB gold label, and didnt care for that one as much. I imagine the only difference from the white is 2 years less age. is the EW BIB like either of these, or noticably different?

FWIW, I think it's a lot like the 1783 and a little like the gold label, but not that similar to the others, certainly not to the 6 year white label.

so you thought the HH BIB white 6 year considerably better? of the HH lineup, I liked the white 6 year BIB and the green 90 proofer best. So, youd liken it more to the gold HH BIB?

I may just wait and see if it shows up int 50 or 200ml bottles first then.....

Yeah, the white label BiB came up in another thread - I like it plenty, but it's too sweet and corny for my personal cabinet and I won't buy another bottle. It's pretty tough to tell whether you'll like the EW BiB, based on what you've written. HH has a particular profile, perhaps due to what I have heard is an extremely high distilling proof, but I divide their products under general lines, either super-malty or super-corny. I put the white label BiB as malty while the 6 year BiB is corny. Their higher end products don't fall under either category, and to be honest I don't even see the resemblance between those and their general offerings.

[393foureyedfox]

im new enough to bourbon though, that if you gave me the whole lineup of HH labeled stuff in a blind tasting, id probably not be able to tell the difference other than proof. i do like the larceny too....

fox, I expect that would be true for most of us irrespective of experience.

[OscarV]

I just hope the expansion doesn't affect the quality of what is one of my favorite bourbons on the shelf.

I'm with you there.

Evan Williams White Label BIB is a nice little treasure.

[nblair]

I've not seen it yet. Since i lost my bourbon cherry to some 1783, and that i like the value of HH 6yo white BIB, I'm ready to grab one as soon as i see it.

I'm in Louisville Ky; the stuff is distilled 5 miles from my house and aged 30 miles from me, but nowhere in my state can it be found. Ive read that TN was the closest to have it. why would they not offer to sell it in the state where it's made? the only thing weirder is Blantons straight from the barrel.....made in KY, and not for sale in the US.....

Don't be too upset about the HH selections in KY. Be thankful you have plenty of access to the HH BIB 6 Year and the vast selection of other bonds including JTS Brown, JW Dant, etc. Not everyone else does...

[393foureyedfox]

oh, I am grateful. I am truly lucky to be where I am as a beginner bourbon drinker, there's no better place on the planet to be a bourbon fan. It just eludes me why a distiller will not sell something in the state they make it, but still have a dozen other offerings in that state. I mean....no EW BIB, but two HH BIB's, and theyre all made in the same place.....it cant be legal reasons at that logic.

but again, it is nice to walk into a large liquor store here and see practically everything made in the country on the shelf! sure makes experimenting a lot of fun! but as with anything, you want to try what you cant have. I guess it could be a little more fun with not everything available everywhere, it makes it like a treasure hunt when you travel...

Look for a white label EW. Came out last week in ky. We have it but I have not had any feedback yet.

[squire]

Would like to hear what your customers have to say Eric.

so it's in E-town, but Ive yet to see any in Louisville. Next time we go to the Doe Valley to visit some friends, I may stop in and grab some.

[MyOldKyDram]

Didn't see it in Lexington today, but I only made the one stop.

On the shelf at Packages and More in E'town.

[squire]

That label has such clarity it's calling me from the shelf.

[393foureyedfox]

asked a small liquor store about it today. he looked in his most recent book and said it doesnt list it, but would call his distributor and let me know tomorrow.

Those beverage journals can be helpful but they are usually months behind when it comes to new products.

[393foureyedfox]

hopefully he calls tomorrow and says he can get that and a fighting cock in 200ml bottles! im itching to try both

...theres a joke in there somwhere
