Pros
- Parent context: It's an excellent value. Great price for a good whiskey. Reply: Different people like different things. I like it about as much as Four Roses, or Makers
- It's an excellent value. Great price for a good whiskey. You can spend more and get less.
- Easily the best of the BIB affordable bottles. A consistent daily drinker and contends with bottles, double and triple its price point.
- It’s hard to beat at the price.
- At $20 to $22 it is one of the most honest value plays in bourbon. Not the bottle I reach for when I have better options open, but a genuinely capable pour that earns its place on any shelf. ... In a five bottle blind against Weller Spec...
Cons
- Parent context: I had a 375 bottle that was nothing but astringent ethanol. Then i ended up buying a 750 when I was out of town and it was 100 times better... Reply: This is one of only two bourbons that I poured down the drain; undrinka...

- I honestly do not like this bourbon. For a few dollars more you can get WT101 orBuffalo Trace(if you’re lucky). It’s bourbon, but by god unless you are strapped for cash there are better bourbons for sub $30.

At $20 to $22 it is one of the most honest value plays in bourbon. Not the bottle I reach for when I have better options open, but a genuinely capable pour that earns its place on any shelf. ... In a five bottle blind against Weller Special Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Benchmark Bonded, and Old Grand Dad Bonded, it took the top spot.
Evan Williams Bottled in Bond is a must have for beginners and even seasoned bourbon lovers. It always delivers!
EW taking the top spot doesn't feel like bias to me. The earthiness that could have been a liability was actually doing real work in the glass, adding depth and body without overwhelming anything. ... At $22 it's only $5 more than Benchmark and in my opinion the better bottle by a clear margin.
