I like pretty much all the EW offerings but the 100 proof white label is my favorite followed closely by 1783.Slightly more expensive is Henry McKenna BIB 100 proof...........well worth a few extra bucks.Heaven Hill makes some excellent value bourbons.

I AGREE...E.V. 1783 is BETTER...and in the past..
80's,90's and 2000's..it was only $2-$4.00 more...
Back during those years...
Now its $22-28? And PENNSYLVANIA DOESNT STOCK IT, you have to special order it and pay up front...

EV 1783 used to come packaged in an absolutely UGLY & GAUDY looking clear bottle, gold label, and gold cap....
It looked like something a PIMP IN DETROIT WOULD DESIGN.. IT WAS SO CHEAP LOOKING but it tasted great...

I ...me personally...sent a registered letter (1998-2001???)to the president of Evan Williams trying to sell him my idea for "remarketing"
Their EV 1783 WITH a new bottle design and a new label design and TOO LOOSE THE DETROIT PIMPED OUT GOLDEN CAP...I TOLD HIM HE HAD A GREAT PRODUCT IN A LOSER PACKAGE ESSENTIALLY...he took my idea to the new guys and said..." This Jones guy is totally correct...but I paid you guys first, so do what he suggested since I just hired you idiots and didn't even see our problem with EV 1783 TWO YEARS AFTER I HIRED YOU..."

IT WAS BEFORE ALL THE FU-FU MILLENIAL INSPIRED SMALL BATCH remakes and remarketing of many old plus new bottle designs that came along in the bourbon world from 2000 TO 2018...

I received a nice letter in return , he sent back my modest gift of an old hand colored photo of a Kentucky log cabin which was awesome, and said "thanks, but no thanks"...
"We currently have our own newmy contracted marketing firm who is looking over or boubon lines and suggesting any and all
new ideas for our products"...

They "came up" with THE STOLEN IDEA OF CALLING IT
"SMALL BATCH" which everyone else had all ready started doing industry wide, turned the bottle to brown glass and put a stupid black cap on the top ( same size, same mold, exactly the same as the gold pump cap...but they used black plastic instead...)

I CALL THAT W.E.A.K. product CHANGE/design FOR $500K
Or more$$??? TO AND ADVERTISING MARKETING bunch of loser Copycat lazy f*k MILLENIAL computer graphic design artists ripping off dumb BOURBON CEO's after they bribe him with a $100k kickback from the 3-5 yr contract that E.V. signed...

My ( Mr.Jones's) idea, bottle & label & cap design was 10 times better...but as usual , as my entire life has gone...I never get that first break...that first job in my art/business major.....like all these stupid MILLENIALS get right after graduating nowadays...

Hence....the Paul Harvey saga..."now you know the rest of the story" ....

I’ve drank that Evan Williams crap before, it was okay but I felt like a hillbilly drinking it. I’ll take some β€˜yac thanks. Even a cheap cognac or brandy is about the same price and more sophisticated

Is it just me? or does this seem to fall in the same category of when my wife says "Wine coolers is more sophisticated than beer" Blink

Bought a bottle of
LEXINGTON BOURBON ABOUT 3? YEARS AGO...

Just opened it 2 weeks ago,
I like it way better than JEFFERSON BOURBON...

It is way "lighter" and if you add too much spring water it almost tastes like honey bourbon...
Never a chance of G.E.R.D. REFLUX acid from drinking too much of this light stuff...very good...
but too expensive compared to Evan Williams black label.
