1792 Bottled in Bond Bourbon

Not my favorite of the 1792 line ( the full proof is) however it’s not bad! The nose has banana notes and acetone with slight oak, the acetone is off putting but is present....however when sipped the flavor has oak, lot of bananas (to be expected from Barton) slight oak. The finish is smooth and gentle Overall I’d give this probably a 80-83 overall Will buy if on sale and enjoy but won’t seek out

Nose: Everything points towards banana bread mash; vanilla extract, sugar, overripe banana, ground cinnamon, almond flour, and egg. Hints of sour green apple slices and apple blossom start coming out after you get acclimated to the banana notes. This throws you a curve ball compared to your traditional bourbon notes. Palate: The banana bread mash flavors transfer to the palate predictably. This lays out under your tongue and in the back of your throat. Sour green apple leads the charge and stays pretty sharp. Finish: Again, that banana and cinnamon with a sharp green apple hangs in the back end of your mouth. There is definitely a alcohol swell that rises up from your chest. You notice the proof for sure. This feels a tad young and aggressive, but a damn fine dram. Honestly, for the money, I would go 1792 Full Proof all day. For the extra like 5-10 dollars, the Full Proof delivers more complexities and is very nuanced. *Bourbon Street Wine and Spirits Barrel Selection #1

Wanted to try this private single barrel bottled in bond version from Sprayberry bottle shop the night after I tried the single barrel version. I don't think this is as good of a barrel as the one I had last night. Much more of an oak smell than the vanilla I got last night. More alcohol smell and taste. I don't think it's due to the proof that is only 1.4 higher. It tastes less aged than the regular. Neat it had an almost bitter aftertaste. That went away with ice. Still not much body, complex flavors or finish. This felt like a cheaper mixer bourbon.

Nose: cherry, oak and berries, caramel, later almost a floral and honey Body: smooth and light (thin) Palate: light caramel and spice, light vanilla and honey, this is just light. Finish: takes a second to kick in then it’s mild and long’ish with late rye bread. Before the rye is a little light cherry and with the rye is a vanilla cream (nice!) Note: this is nice and sweet and good. I like it but it doesn’t set my hair on fire. I really like the late rye bread!

Smooth entry with a small bite on the end... (that’s what she said!). Tasty char, cinnamon tic-tacs, orange starburst shavings, and extra virgin olive oil. {Enjoyed at Commonwealth Tap}

Nice and balanced, lots of rye spice on the palette, fairly short finish. Easy drinker, quite enjoyable for the price.
