1792 Full Proof Straight Bourbon

Sweet corn, caramel and citrus nose. On the palate, synthetic cinnamon (red hots) with a little smokiness, slightly bitter rye and then the synthetic cinnamon returns with the alcohol burn followed by a charred oak aftertaste (as opposed to a green woody oakiness).

Notes of caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon. A little hot but worth it.

Nose: Apple, orange rinds, powdered sugar, hay, wet dirt. Taste: Apple, juicy fruit, hot pie filling, cinnamon, dark chocolate, leather. Experience: Eating the fresh baked fruits in pie, tarts, or another treat. It's too hot to eat all of but your mouth starts to water and you bite in anyway, it is too hot but still worth it. It's a juicy bourbon for sure, proof hounds won't be disappointed. It does have a lot to offer, but in my opinion it falls short of some other cask strength options. But that is more praise for those than a knock against 1792, place it between Elijah Craig barrel proof and Bullet barrel proof. If that makes sense.

Good, but not great. Very hot on the initial sip, but it mellowed out somewhat after awhile.

MBC Barrel Pick reviewed. Nose is nice of vanilla and caramel. Taste starts with brown sugar and cinnamon as the heat starts to ramp up. As the heat subsides you are left with a dried fruit finish that is really quite nice.
