Named after Evan Williams, who opened Kentucky’s 1st Distillery in 1783 along the banks of the Ohio River. Evan Williams is aged longer than required by law and bottled at 86 proof. The result is a Bourbon that is smooth, rich and easy to enjoy. Evan Williams is medium amber in color and has aromas of vanilla and mint with a taste of oak, brown sugar, and caramel.
Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch honors the year that Evan Williams founded Kentucky’s First Distillery. This small batch Bourbon is pulled from less than 200 barrels. It’s extra-aged, bottled at 90 proof and uses the same sour mash process and traditional recipe made popular by our namesake, Evan Williams Black Label. Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch shares in the heritage of Evan Williams Black Label, which is the second largest selling brand of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey in the U.S., as both are named after Kentucky's first distiller. Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch is a brilliant honey color with aromas of oaky vanilla, sauteed butter, and sweet corn with a taste that's semi-sweet, oaky, and honeyed with a lean, off-dry, and regal finish.
