CL Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 As I was about to settle in for a night of hockey on TV (Carolina Hurricanes vs. NJ Devils), I noticed I was out of "normal", er, middle shelf bourbon. So, I made a quick run to the ABC store.I saw a display for Evan Williams 1783 10 year old. I don't recall ever seeing this before, but it was only $10 so I grabbed a bottle.At home, I cracked open the EW. Nice aroma out of the bottle. Nice taste, but watered down due to the 86 proof. I didn't think anything more about it as the game started. Three periods of hockey, three Carolina Hurricane goals, one win, and three stiff bourbons later, I realized I never took the time to enjoy the bourbon. (Yes, I am rambling.)I am turning in my glass for the night, but look forward to checking this bourbon out more, especially considering the price.To get to the point, has anyone tasted this bourbon? I did some searches on this forum and found a hit in a long thread, but I gave up after reading about half the replies in that thread - no mention of 1783 as of yet. (How come our search engine doesn't point directly to the reply with the search string?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgiammarco Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Me and mark polished off most of a bottle of 1783 during the bourbon festival... We had never seen it around where we live, so we gave it a try, and were pleasantly suprised... As you noted, at the lower proof i found it very easy to drink too much of... (i usually 'taste' more than i 'drink' with most bourbons)-Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 I've got to agree with Chris, for the price this Evan Williams was a pleasant surprise. My only regret was not bringing a bottle back up here to NYC. -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
