1792 Aged Twelve Years

Fruit on the nose that doesnt carry to the pallet. Flavor is more oak & vanilla forward. Drinks at a higher proof than is labelled at

It's been a long time since I've tried a pour of 1792. I enjoyed the small batch and sweet wheat, but not much else makes it my way near me. To my surprise, a bottle of this 12 year appeared locally so I snatched it up. The spiced oak aroma was inviting. Upon sipping, I noticed a fair amount of leather and said oak. This followed through to the finish as well. Slight rye and some cinnamon candy also emerged. The booze lit a small flame providing some warmth to it all. Not bad indeed. A solid offering from Barton.

Very nice and smooth with that good burn going down

Color: pretty dark amber. Nice slow moving legs. Nose: I smell spice. I also get a hint of some fruit. I think cherry. Taste: tastes creamy and super smooth. I get vanilla immediately on the tongue. A little maple syrupy thing. I get spice on the end and into the finish. Finish?: medium spicy finish Water?: no water needed

Exit 9 tasting (3/26/24)

Color: dark copper, amber color Nose: sweet and barrel/oak. Not a super complex nose. Taste: very easy drinking. I get a lot of oak. That’s really mostly it. Tons of oak. Finish: Water?:none needed.

Lovely color and viscosity Light floral nose Quick dried fruit palate Turns quick to oak, spice, leather Long finish
