ShelfRead verdict
Budget basic
Does the job and doesn't pretend otherwise. Bottom-third reviews at a bottom-third price. Breaking Bourbon gives it 2.5/5, vs. 3/5 for the typical bourbon (357 rated). The Bourbon Culture gives it 6/10, vs. 7.8/10 for the typical bourbon (473 rated). Thin data, two sources.
Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced by Heaven Hill Distillery, named for the year Evan Williams founded Kentucky's first distillery. It is drawn from a small batch of fewer than 200 select barrels and bottled at 90 proof, offering a richer, extra-aged profile than the standard Evan Williams Black Label.
