People say Evan Williams white label is the best cocktail bourbon, but i disagree. It's Old Grand-Dad Bonded for me. OGD has contrasting flavors like cinnamon, cane sugar and vanilla, and that works better for a wider range of cocktails than Evan Williams which is kind of a one-trick pony.

I have a soft-spot for affordable bourbons and OGD has always been one of my favorites. I think of this living somewhere between Evan Williams BIB and Wild Turkey 101 and swap out between the three. For a cocktails, there's no substitute and in the summer I like it over ice. Glad to see it for sale here along with higher end bottles.
