So my pr...The front label says Evan Williams 2003. So my presumption is, that when they were bottling, they attached the label after filling the bottle. What I have no clue about is when, in the process, they attach the back label with the barrel/bottling dates number information. I have purchased over the past several years other editions of Evan Williams Single Barrel, and only found six months or so, on the end side, of being older than 9-10 year range. So, it appears that either the date of barreling was done incorrectly, or if accurate, that the attention goes to the year of bottling in that series. It just struck me as odd, and made me wonder if when a particular year is a success, and they want to keep up that years sales demands, did they go for an older barrel. Thanks for your attention to this question.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-83463805508848036862013-07-10T16:39:51.053-07:002013-07-10T16:39:51.053-07:00Anon, what leads you to say that it was a 2003?

The back label states that it was barreled on 4-1-01 (and I presume it was not meant as an April Fool's joke), barrel no. 540, and bottled on June 14, 2013. Does this make it a 2001 Evan Williams, or a 2003 Evan Williams? And it appears to be 12 years, not the 9-10 it generally is touted as being. Also, is it common to round up a few barrels at the end of a production year run, to meet orders? Thanks. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
