A little history with your buzz…

Kentucky and bourbon go together like men and, well… bourbon -- and no brand speaks to this relationship better than Kentucky’s first distiller, Evan Williams. The second best-selling bourbon brand in the world, Evan Williams’ reputation for producing liquid gold comes from the integrity it infuses into each and every step of the production process -- from the barrel sampling to bottling of the final product, every step ensures superior quality.

Now, Evan Williams has expanded its portfolio to touch on the exciting and up-and-coming category of flavored bourbons -- releasing lines with cherry, cinnamon and, our subject of the day, honey infused flavors. A medal winner at the 2010 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Evans Williams Honey Reserve is a 70 proof bottle that lends itself to all the classic bourbon serving styles: on its own, mixed, over ice, and -- our favorite method for flavored bourbon -- chilled.

Hair on your chest factor: 71/100

Though flavored liquors from the realms of vodka and rum are primarily targeted at the fairer sex, Honey Reserve retains its strong bourbon base while using sweetness to expand the tasting range of man’s favorite drink. On the nose, the bourbon is soft and citrus-y, the taste combines a hint of smoke and vanilla with honey sweetness and allspice, while the finish evokes memories of traditional bourbon with its bold, long, spicy finish. Plain and simple: An intriguing golden bourbon that's the perfect company for watching the leaves make their own golden transformation this fall.
