NOSE Caramel, dried apples, oak, roasted peanuts, citrus, cocoa and a touch of vanilla. A light, bright, aroma that sits somewhere between the Evan Williams Bonded and the EW Black. PALATE Peanut brittle, oak, copper, herbal spice, stewed apples and a bit of cocoa and vanilla taffy. This new Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch is less fruity than the old version, but that fruit character is still there and quite noticeable… though not in a bad way at all. FINISH Medium -> Roasted nuts, oak, caramel fades to roasted corn and milk duds.
