Appearance: The color is an appealing amber, resembling honey. Smell: Among its sweet counterparts, the aroma of this honey whiskey is among the finest I've encountered. Initial scents of clover and subtle mint are accompanied by dried leaves. This is in addition to the unmistakable sweet fragrance one would anticipate from honey. Flavor: The taste is undeniably sweet with honey, but it doesn't cross the line into excessive sweetness as much as other honey whiskies have. An earthy note, akin to black tea, is also present, offering a touch more complexity. Finish: The finish is of moderate to extended duration and sweet, leaving a distinct, sparkling honey aftertaste. Impression: While I generally don't care for flavored whiskey, I find honey flavored whiskey to be acceptable. It's sweet, easy to drink, and holds some fond memories for me. This particular one, however, might be my new top choice. It possesses sweetness without being overpowering, tastes of honey while offering a bit more depth than others. Evan Williams is a well-established brand, and although this might not be universally loved, it's certainly a product to be proud of! (This could serve as an excellent and risky introductory drink for anyone looking to get into whiskey.) My compliments to Evan Williams! Cheers!

Keep in mind this is a budget-friendly whiskey. A really pleasant honey whiskey. Incredibly smooth and easy to drink, even for those who don't typically enjoy whiskey neat. Likely the best honey whiskey value you can find for around $20. It truly offers more than its price suggests.
Drinking this neat is fantastic. It's so viscous and syrupy that the alcohol is imperceptible. I drank this throughout college and appeared cool (I wasn't) because I consumed it straight, no chaser. It's inexpensive and well worth a try.
I'm not impressed. The aroma is pleasant. The taste is acceptable. However, the finish is quite unpleasant. Unless I discover a good mixer for it, I doubt I'll finish the bottle. As a friend mentioned, there's absolutely no burn.
It won't impress with its complexity. It's my preferred honey whiskey because it tastes more like whiskey with honey rather than a honey whiskey like the Wild Turkey product. There's a slight whiskey burn. The bottle is inexpensive and affordable.
I enjoy this! I'm a big fan of honey whiskey, and while this is on the lower end, it's an incredible value for how inexpensive it is! It is a bit too sweet, but it's very smooth and worth purchasing!
