1792 Bottled in Bond Single Barrel Select

At first the nose was a bit indistinguishable. Started picking up burnt oak, banana, burnt marshmellow and some lemon peel. A good amount of spice here, and i was correct in assuming its high rye bill from what Ive read. It goes on throughout including the finish. Other than that im noticing that banana again as well as the burnt oak. Theres vanilla wafer. It runs hot, not necessarily in a bad way, but it does have some bite. Theres a unique combination of flavors that actually work well. A bit more balanced flavor and it would have had a higher rating.

Spicy grainy sawdust nose… Leads to a fluffy, full-bodied palate, leaning sweet. Maple syrup and waffles. Cinnamon and caramel. There’s oak and vanilla too, but that nose didn’t prepare me for all the sugar. Syrupy finish with some leather and tobacco as the sugar fades.

Sweet with notes of cherry and banana. Was a store pick. Extremely good pour.

Brown sugar and banana unite: you cannot go wrong with this palate. The age is a slight issue making it rough around the edges, but it's a great value. (Total Wine pick)

4.14, rounding up, this was solid. Pawleys Wine and Spirits store pick

Apple, brown sugar and oak
