1792 Full Proof Straight Bourbon

Better than their Single Barrel, but still really harsh and bitey. Decent mixer but not good straight.

$16 pour at a bar, neat in a rocks glass I never see this in ABC stores, and rarely at bars. Even though I think they were overcharging for this considering the bottle price, I had to try it. My main takeaway was I liked this better than the reviews. At 125 proof it drank so soft, it could've been 95 proof and I wouldn't have batted an eye. It was delicate, sweet, and oh so drinkable. The finish was delightful, a combination of cane sugar, oak, and berries, as if it was finished in rum barrels. It tastes nothing like the mediocre Small Batch. I am for sure buying a bottle of this when I see it.

Was really looking forward to this but I found myself scratching my head at the result. It’s somehow a digression from their standard label. Unusually this is slightly too hot and fails no complexity from the added proof. Very bizarre.

Big strong nose! Love this bourbon!
