For an extra $1 a bottle, you can get the premium version of Evan Williams sour mash whisky. Now, their regular whisky is barely drinkable.There's no mention of what makes it premium. I assume it means some or all of the whisky has been aged a bit more. Maybe an extra year or two. But they leave you guessing. So, does the extra dollar make a difference?
It has a light caramel color. It clings to the glass decently. The aroma is first of alcohol, but under it is a bit of the toasted grain and a hint of sweetness. On the first sip, there is plenty of raw alcohol. But I wouldn't call it harsh. Certainly not smooth either. Really I don't get much flavor beyond the alcohol. Sure, there is a bit of grain and overall "whisky" flavor. But no caramel. No butter. No floral. Nothing. But most surprisingly, it's a bit better than Evan Williams regular.
