Has a white label (like a negative of the regular label) and the back label says "Distilled by the Stonegate Distillery DSP Ky 31, Bardstown, Nelson Country, KY 40004. IMHO much better stuff than Maker's Mark - but I have never been a huge fan of that brand - and much better than standard Evan. Anybody else ever heard of the stuff? Or tried it? ed Sun Aug 06 00:14:32 -0700 2006 10318 Phoo D 1 1791897 I haven't tried that one, but I think Evan Williams Single Barrel is one of the great bourbon values out there. Changes some year to year, which feels more 'real' than the sameness of most other brands. Mon Aug 07 12:50:09 -0700 2006 1790082 12626 ted 1 1792857 That must be some friend! Does the bottle indicate how long it's been aged? I haven't tried that particular bourbon, but I agree...Maker's Mark is good, but not great. My current favorite is Rock Hill Farms (100 proof).

It did not taste super old and nor especially woody and charred; the smoothness seems imho to be a product of careful distillation. ed Mon Aug 07 21:00:15 -0700 2006 1792857 10318 Phoo D
