1792 Full Proof Single Barrel Select

Oak and Flame pick: Buttered grits, maple syrup, butterscotch, cinnamon stick, butternut squash, nice oaky sweetness, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, vanilla ice cream finish

Liquor City Uncorked pick, "Gallenstein Selection #16" Barrel No. 812 Open 2.5 months Nose - Butterscotch, cream, maple candy, brown sugar, holiday incense, medium oak, and medium ethanol. Palate - Hot cinnamon, fake vanilla, caramel, mixed nuts, and new leather. Finish is long with harsh oak tannins, artificial syrup flavoring, cheap vanilla ice cream, cinnamon bun, and strong ethanol. If I see new 1792 picks in NKY, I buy them. They are easily one of the best value single barrels on the market. This pick was below average in my opinion, but it's hard to complain about a $55 high proof pick when you see Sweet Wheat, 12Y, and other 1792's jacked up in price on the allocated shelves. I'll let the taters keep buying those.

Received a blind sample from a friend. Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium-dark amber. Nose: Caramel, vanilla, fruit. Palate: Cinnamon, clove, baking spice, oak. Finish: Medium heat, long length. Splash: No new flavors are revealed. Overall: 9/10 - This drinks like a Booker’s or a similarly aged and proofed bourbon. It’s well above average, and classic bourbon at every stage.

Very good, hides the 125 proof well, very good sipper over a rock

Nose: peanut shells, popcorn Palate: viscous mouthfeel - oak, caramel, creme brulee Finish: long finish. oaky, peanut DC Costco pick. Excellent bourbon that drinks well below its proof.
