Ended up buying big bottles of Evan Williams and WT101.
I bet you'll enjoy both of them. The WT101 is a classic bourbon with many of the standard bourbon flavors (sweet, vanilla, light fruits and a touch of cinnamon spice) without any flaws. The EW Bottled in Bond is a great value. It has a nice nutty character along with the sweetness, vanilla, caramel and light fruits (pear and apple) notes. I've not experienced any off notes with it and I've had a couple bottles of it this year. Heaven Hill is the distiller of Evan Williams and I'm a fan of many of their whiskeys. 1783 and Evan Williams Single Barrel are both good and more approachable for those who don't like higher proof and both are a step up from the Black Label. The white label Bottled In Bond is a step up in proof and flavor. Both are what I would consider as on the lighter side of the bourbon flavor spectrum. I bet you'll like them.
