Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch

Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch Bourbon

I typically bring a bottle to the deer camp to share with everyone. Nothing too fancy, but something that will make it through the weekend. Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond (white label) has been part of
my rotation for quite a while. It has the right amount of easy-sipping smooth flavor combined with affordability. I decided to bring something a little nicer than that last weekend when I saw the Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch on the shelf next to it. As you can see from the picture, it was a hit. I'm surprised any of it made it home. 

From the Bottle:

Evan Williams earned the title "Kentucky's First Distiller" in 1783, when he began his distillery on the banks of the Ohio River. Today, that pioneering heritage is honored in the crafting of the special small batch bourbon. After fully maturing, a limited numner of barrells are then specially chosen and mingled to just the taste. The result is a genuine classic - smooth, rich, and worthy of it's name.
