The real "resemblance" between Evan Williams and Jack Daniels is that both are "Sour Mash" products with the sweetish, "yeasty" flavor of that fermentation method. I actually prefer Evan Williams, less sweet while still 'yeasty", to the almost cloying sweetness of Jack Daniels. Try Dickel #12, another Tennessee Sour Mash like JD, far less sweet but with a heavy aromatic body and "nose".

"Crown" is not Bourbon (or Tennessee Whisky) at all, nothing more than a heavily flavored and colored blend of principally "Canadian" style whiskeys.

It's only noticeable virtue is that it's "smooth", not much a of virtue in the eyes of folks who enjoy the spectrum of aromas, flavors and "edges" in real whisk(e)ys not so carefully formulated and marketed to appeal to folks whose pocketbooks are thicker than their palates are sophisticated.

Want to duplicate "Crown" at home? Prepare in an iron skillet a little homemade caramel, and mix a teaspoon of it into about 6 ounces of much cheaper "Seagram's 7 Crown " . Shazaam, cheap "Crown Royal"!
