Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 23-year-old 1969 Vintage is a well-aged Kentucky straight bourbon, bottled at a robust 53.5% ABV. As a bourbon, it is made primarily from corn and matured in new charred oak barrels, which typically bring notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak.
At 23 years old, this is an unusually mature bourbon, so a drinker can expect a fuller, more oak-driven style than in younger examples. Its higher strength also suggests a concentrated, intense character that may benefit from slow sipping or a few drops of water.
