Reviewed February 14, 2022 (edited July 29, 2022)1792 BIB Single Barrel Select (North Carolina 2021) NOSE: Dry Tobacco, Cinnamon, Dry Oak, Brown Sugar, Candy Apple, Grassy Barnyard Funk, and a slight Alcohol Burn. NEAT: Decent Coating/Clingy Mouthfeel, Vanilla, Oak Tannins, Big Hit of Cinnamon Heat, Black Pepper Spice, Dark Heavy Fall Spices, and Orange Peel. There is an underlying taste of Young Dry Corn that throws it off just a bit. Spicy Slightly Drying Finish with a Big KYHug blooming in the chest leaving a coating of Cinnamon on the palate. SPLASH: Improves it a bit. Gains a Tartness and becomes more Fruit Forward. Orange & Lemon Peel, Granny Smith Apple, The coating finish gains a bit of Sweetness. VERDICT: Time open has helped this bottle. One of the better Bartons I've had (and the best 1792). The issue here is that Young Corn Note that I feel would've been blended out had it been a part of the Regular BIB Batching. That lead to a quarter point reduction. A little water did disguise it a bit and gave it an overall Fruity character that I really enjoyed. I think I'll definitely give the standard BIB a shot if I see it. The Barton profile may be growing on me a bit.40.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed February 9, 2021 (edited September 22, 2023)My specific store pick is from a local store in Houston. It starts out with a really nice nose - solid vanilla with burnt sugar with rye bites of spice and cooked fruit type flavors. Palate is classic bourbon with caramel and vanilla swirling together, small bit of nuts? Then rye takes over - spice and cooked fruit take over with plenty of pepper and a hint of mint with some more hearty oak. Really well done. The $30-$40 price range is an awkward window in bourbon. A few bucks more get you greats like Rare Breed and 4R SiB, and Knob Creek store picks. A few bucks less gets you Buffalo Trace, Knob Creek and Elijah Craig. But in the 30-40 range there’s not a lot of respectable stuff, besides Makers 46 and 4R SmB, and definitely some over priced juice like High West Prairie and Basil Hayden’s and Heaven Hill 7 year BiB. This store pick definitely falls on the “respectable” side of that list. This is great stuff. I’ll need to try another store pick in case I just got a super honey barrel, but I can easily recommend this.37.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed August 4, 2020 (edited February 9, 2021)Nose: honey, vanilla, and maple smokiness, slight cherry. Palate: starts off dry and astringent, but not ethanol. More tannic. Black tea, soft oak. It’s a very complex and long finish that leads the tannins to break away and reveal softer flavors. Pretty interesting overall. I can’t remember tasting a bourbon with this type of dry tannic taste. But it does end very soft and cleanly.
