1792 Full Proof Single Barrel Select

Smooth. Caramel, vanilla

South Jersey Bourbon Drinkers "2020 Survivor" pick (This isn't my first $1792 Full Proof Single Barrel pick, but it's vastly different) The idea that this is 125 proof is just silly. Overall, really well-balanced Nose: Sugary grape and strawberry jelly aromas, with an undercurrent of melon and green apple jolly rancher. Taste: deeper than I expected, with a thicker mouthfeel. The silky texture makes it smoother and drink warmer. There is a perfume-like quality, rich milk chocolate, and faded dark fruit, Belgian sugar. In the finish, there's spice that punches through. Beautiful finish, kind of dry, that is high, cool, and minty. The longer I continue to sip this, the more I like it. It's a really enjoyable pour that you can savor for a long time

Neat. Neck pour. Party source pick. Around 8 years old. This is my first 1792 Full Proof pick. I have had one without the sticker. Off memory, I remember liking it but not understand the hype and awards. Also heard the ones without the sticker can be better balanced. Should be interesting... Oh funky. Smells like a caramel brownie first impression. Yeah, I’m sticking to that call. Caramel brownie. Very very sweet on the nose. Really good apple note behind that. Hint of pepper. Maybe a cherry too. Solid nose. Not interesting or delicious, just passes the bar. Very very nice, silky mouthfeel. That is a stand out quality. Super sweet and dark on the tongue. Dark chocolate, let’s say 60% cocoa. On the taste it transitions to a delightful nutty and apple combo and then slams into that caramel chocolate brownie. And those brownies have an impressive hang time. Oh that is good. Geez, the grannie apple really comes out on the finish the more I sip this. Only down side is that it is very tannic and drying and the bitterness builds in the back of the throat. Nothing a few sips of water can’t reset. Yeah, this is a great pour. Best thing I have had with the 1792 label. The apple note on this is insane. It’s really taking over the more I sit with this. I am just going to sit back and enjoy this one for awhile.
