1792 Full Proof Straight Bourbon

Use 2 cubes!!! And Let Rest at least 10 minutes or ideally longer. Viscous, slow legs, good age, no age statement tho. Nose: vanilla and chocolate banana fruit and spice. Palate: lots of cinnamon. Spice up front and often. Long finish. Better nose than palate.

Never had a whisky go bad so fast (until I tried the small batch / single barrel I had a few weeks later). On opening it was a wonderful carmel & cinnamon sandwich, so sweet you couldn't imagine it was a whisky. That lasted a week. It then became just a cinnamon punch in the mouth. It turned so bad that 5ml if it almost ruined a 750ml infinity bottle I have going.

The color is a vivid amber and thinly coats the glass when swirled. The nose is slightly hot if you’re not careful and starts with honey, banana, pear, vanilla, oak and cinnamon offering some hotness. The palate is very dry with a somewhat intense heat that can almost mask the flavors of what was found on the nose. The fruity notes are very nice against the dryness, with vanilla and cherry syrup that comes out at the end. The finish is long in the sense that it leaves the mouth burning for longer than the flavors last, which is a fading dry oak alongside the fruit while vanilla and cherry are quietly in the background.

Getting a lot of hype right now and if it’s actually able to be found going forward, it will be worth the buy. Very little heat on the initial taste despite the proof. Would need to try a non store pick to see if it’s still solid

So rich and complex. Getting hints of notes and then they’re gone replaced by something else... kind of wishing it would settle into something knowable
