1792 Full Proof Straight Bourbon

I dont mind proof. I really like Bookers and i really like ECBP. I also like EHTBP a lot However, this bottle is just proof and little else. Its hot, hot, hot. Maybe Store pics are better but the standard off-the-shelf $50 full proof is not what you want. It’s all heat with little taste. I cannot recommend it.

Caramel smacks me in the mouth in the beginning, vanilla, some molasses, bannana and maplewood. later evolves into more oaky, leather and vanilla, with the finish being heavy spice, ethanol and caramel. This was a decent dram but a little hotter on the finish than id enjoy. But its similar to old grandad 114, with less brown sugar notes.

6 out of 10 - not terrible
