Evan Williams white label going nationwide

[Phil T]

Certainly within the realm of possibility, they've got, what, approximately 600,000 barrels of whisky aging in their warehouses.

[squire]

Guess I'm aging myself by posting outdated information but it's a river of whisky no matter what the number.

I'm going to have to disagree with you folks who like the HH white better than the EW BIB. Just a week or so ago, I revisited HH white BIB, VOB BIB, and EW BIB, and I thought EW BIB was the smoothest, most well-rounded of the three. All had been open for at least a couple months.

Another vote for the EWBIB, it's just so smooth!!!

some of us dont really prefer 'smooth'

i still maintain that in a blind tasting, you couldnt tell EW BIB from HH 6 year BIB

[squire]

The good thing, the really good thing is, we can have all three for the price of one similar grade NDP in a fancy bottle.

[Phil T]

similar grade NDP in a fancy bottle.

With no age statement to boot

Amen to that.

Just saw this in San Diego last night. First time I've see it in CA. Has anyone seen it elsewhere on the West Coast? I was tempted to buy a bottle, but figured it'll probably be available in the Bay Area soon.

[393foureyedfox]

$14.95 in oregon.

[Cigar Dan]

I just picked up two bottles in Baton Rouge for $25 and change (tax included).

Unfortunately there was no price on them. I was curious as well, but didn't want to ask, because I knew I'd end up buying one. I'll report back if/when I see this in Northern CA.

we have regular old HH BIB white and gold labels here

I wish we had those out west. EWB is a staple in my house, and I'd be happy to spend a few more bucks for something a little better...or just different. It's interesting that the HH white and the EW white are so close in flavor profile. It's not surprising, considering their origins, but I wonder what the reason is for having such similar juice under two names. Maybe Evan Williams is a more recognizable names in some parts?

my bet is its because having the EW name on it will pull in a few dollars more a bottle than the HHWBIB. give it a few years, i bet the HHWBIB goes away quietly once the EWBIB gets established. HH can sell it for a few bucks more a bottle, and not have a 6 year age statement on it too. wait and see.....

[JPBoston]

Still waiting in AZ --- Damn you, EW!!!

i special ordered one from the hole in the wall place here in KY in May, when it was first released in KY. I too gave $15 for it. I have yet to see anyone in Louisville actually STOCK it though....

no loss though, we have regular old HH BIB white and gold labels here, and they are all so close itd be hard to distinguish them in a blind test. i might be able to tell the HH white from the gold, and the EWBIB falls somewhere between them. the gold label is $9.50 and the white is $10.50, so i dont care if i never see EWBIB on a shelf, Id grab the others first anyway

[393foureyedfox]

Opposite here, we don't get any of the HH products (save for the gold 80 proof, which is on our special order shelf?) and have had EW White lable for awhile. I'd love to try some of the HH.

find some HH BIB gold and some HH BIB white, and mix them 50/50 and youll likely end up with EW BIB....thats my take on it

[squire]

I would call that pretty close as well.

[393foureyedfox]

if squire says so, it must be true.

everything on the interwebs is true

Actually, it was Abraham Lincoln who cautioned against believing everything you read on the internet.
