Evan Williams 1783 Bourbon (80 Proof)

smoother than black label, a bit less flavor than BiB, but fantastic overall

Nose: Nuttiness, like almonds and walnuts Caramel Very faint herbal note Black tea Palate: Slightly peppery, evolving into an oakiness, then a long barrel tannin finish A little oily My ratings take cost into account, and for the price this is an okay bourbon, but EWBiB is about the same price and 10x better. I expect a cheap bourbon to basically be a rough picture of bourbon, and this does not fit the bill.

Ginger ale highball. Strong pour. 80/20. Dangerously good.

I would rather have even Williams single barrel if I am buying EW. It was an alright pour. Not much to it. Probably would not buy it again but was fine for making cocktails. Would not suggest it neat.

Better than expected.

I don't like this as much as the Evan Williams white label Bottled-in-Bond, and I'm not sure it's even as good as the usual Black Label Evan Williams. But I do think it's a pleasant tasting, drinkable bourbon. Not my favorite, but not bad either.

Peanuts and wood. Not much else
