Evan Williams Bottled in Bond and a Surprise that we weren’t quite ready for.

No cork pop this time — just a screw cap and a big surprise. In this episode of Aussie Bourbon Lovers, we dive into the Evan Williams White Label Bottled in Bond, a bourbon that’s cheap, cheerful, and way better than we expected.

We break down:

• 🥃 The Bottled in Bond rules (or at least most of them)

• 💰 Why this US$15–30 bottle is such a cult classic

• 👃 What we get on the nose and palate (spoiler: caramel, vanilla & nuttiness)

• 🤯 Why it would hold its own in a blind tasting

A great example of why bourbon doesn’t need to be fancy to be fantastic.
