1792 Bottled in Bond Single Barrel Select

Gold with sweet aroma. Spice and fruits. Medium finish.

Neat. Neck pour. Gallenstein #11. Caramelized apples, chocolate and graham crackers. Baking spices. Hint of over roped banana. Berries and cream. A very fragrant, complex, delightful nose. Syrupy texture with brown sugar, maple, and a hint of bitter oak on the tongue. Transforms into those caramelized apples. That caramel apple is such a strong, complete note. Legs are short with a little linger of that chocolate and oak. It is not as complex as I was expecting but the caramelized Apple note is strong and delicious. I can’t think of a bourbon with such a pronounced, complete note like that. 1792 (non-store pick) products typically underwhelm me. I bought this as a last chance for the brand and it survived the experience. If I find a full proof store pick, I will be more open to give it a shot now.
