5 Best Whiskeys Under $50 in 2023

4. Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch

Insider Monkey’s Score: 4

Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch is distilled by the Heaven Hill Distillery. It is at the medium level in terms of strength, with a proof score of 90. Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch is aged for at least six years and was recently repackaged in 2021 which saw Heaven Hill increase its proof from an earlier 86. In terms of taste, the whiskey has a sugary and vanilla-esque essence. It also has a controversial labeling of ‘small batch’ since its batch of lesser than 300 barrels is still higher than the standard industry accepted definition.
