Other reviews... It begins with notes of brown sugar, Nutter Butter, hazelnut, nutmeg, and vanilla, with hints of roasted nuts. They’re pronounced and rounded, with secondary and tertiary notes introducing malt, cornbread, and salt water taffy. The medium finish offers a hint of bacon bits. 43% Alc./Vol.

"If a street artist sketched a caricature of what bourbon is supposed to be, you’d get this whiskey. The nose promises what the palate delivers: lots and lots of caramel, vanilla and oak. A drop of water opens it up nicely, bringing out residual cola flavors that sound gross but work quite well. Easy drinking, light and sweet, Evan Williams 1783 offers up exactly what one expects from a bourbon without muddying the proverbial pond with additional layers of complexity. It's a fine choice for highballs, so feel free to add soda water or ginger ale." - distiller.com
