About Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch
Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey produced by Heaven Hill Distillery, bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof) with a traditional mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley. Aged 6-8 years and selected from fewer than 300 barrels, it honors the year 1783 when Evan Williams founded Kentucky's first distillery, using the sour mash process for consistent quality. What makes it special is its recent relaunch to the original 90 proof from 86 proof, enhancing richness and brightness while reducing grainy notes, all at an accessible $18.75 for 750ml (also available in 1750ml). Ideal for budget-conscious bourbon enthusiasts seeking everyday sipping value without sacrificing flavor depth. In its category, it outperforms basic bottlings like Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond by offering more complexity and proof, competing favorably with entry-premium options at half the price of craft small batches.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The aroma evokes a rickhouse with angel's share, featuring prominent wood, caramel, vanilla, and nutmeg. Oaky vanilla blends with sautéed butter and sweet corn, accented by nutty, floral cherry lollipop, and subtle dried peanut shells or pineapple.
👅 Palate
Sweet and bursting with baking spices like strong cinnamon and nutmeg, followed by caramel, tangy fruit, and oak. Semi-sweet oaky honeyed notes mingle with toasted brown sugar, vanilla, and light caramel for a pleasing, well-rounded mouthfeel that's brighter and richer than its predecessor.
✨ Finish
Medium length with warmth, lingering cinnamon candies, oak, mint, and a lean, off-dry regal quality. Cinnamon spice prickles with balanced caramel, nuts, and mild oak.
