Evan Williams 1783 is a small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon, extra-aged in white oak and bottled at 90 proof — a rich, smooth bourbon built on the traditional Evan Williams recipe. Named for the 1783 founding year referenced by the brand, this small-batch expression is extra-aged in white oak barrels for added depth. It opens with a buttery aroma of oak, vanilla, and sweet corn, leading to a semi-sweet entry of honey and oak and a balanced, off-dry finish. It is smooth enough to sip neat or over ice, and robust enough for a classic bourbon cocktail. Tasting Notes Nose: Buttery with oak, vanilla, and sweet corn. Palate: Rich and smooth — semi-sweet honey and oak. Finish: Off-dry and balanced.
