Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch Bourbon 1.75L
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 43% ABV (86 Proof) | 1.75 L | Kentucky, USA
Process & Profile
Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch Bourbon is an “extra-aged” small batch bourbon created as a step up from the classic Evan Williams profile, delivering a smoother, richer pour with more oak and sweetness. The 1.75L handle is perfect for customers who want a larger-format bourbon for hosting, batching cocktails, or keeping a dependable house bourbon on hand without constantly restocking.
In the glass, it leans warm and easy-drinking—honeyed sweetness, vanilla oak, and a gentle spice note—making it equally comfortable as a neat pour or as the backbone of classic bourbon cocktails.

A perfect non-diva bourbon
I first came across the Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch bourbon when I was in Michigan earlier this year. What struck me about it was how “non-diva” a bourbon it is. With a lot of brands, you come to expect a characteristic bite, sour, smoke, caramel, etc. that makes them stand out as their own unique thing. But what I like most about this bourbon is how aggressively normal it is: it’s just a smooth, flavorful, warm, inviting glass that will ease your pains and cares as you sip away. It pairs wonderfully with a wide range of cigars too (which never hurts), and isn’t ridiculously expensive (as many are these days), so it’s earned its place on my short list for sure.
