At this store, the same size bottle of Maker's, which is my usual go-to, sells for $32. I picked up the EW Single Barrel to try something new and save a few bucks and I couldn't be more impressed. This is easily the best bourbon I've had for this price, and better, to my taste, than some more expensive brands. An incredible value.

A double whammy of Bronchitis and what I think was the flu wiped me out for half of December. I'm finally getting my taste buds back. Review of this whiskey (and many others) to follow soon.

The tag on the bottle talks about all of the "whisky of the year" awards. I did not find it rated in the Jim Murray Whisky Bible 2008. Now you are talking about the 1999. Did you rate the 1998? I'm not a bourbon drinker normally so I'm not sure how good this is. To me it has a very fine aroma and is smooth but I'm not sure how it rates with the other Evan Williams single barrels. I notice that Jim Murray gives a 95 to a 1995 version but an 87 to a 1997 version. What is the word on the 1998? Mine was barreled on 11-9-98 and bottled on 7-5-08, barrel #626.
