1792 Full Proof Straight Bourbon

Some familiar bourbon flavors of oak, cinnamon, vanilla, and spicy heat but some fruitness of lemon oil. Medium finish and body. A good bourbon

Solid. Strong cinnamon note. It fills an opportune pricing slot above “value” ($20-$25) and below “better” ($30-$35) and is priced appropriately. That said, if I’m not serving a better or premium bourbon, I’d probably grab a different value bottle for a party. 1792 just doesn’t knock my socks off - there’s l cheaper bottles to get excited about, and better quality bottles for a bit more. This would be a no brainer at that $20ish, so I’m certainly not mad about paying $28. All that said, the presentation and overall quality is commendable, and my guests really appreciated it.

I tried to like this but just can’t quite get there. It starts off with a tart up front taste with a bit of burned grape taste, then leads to burned bananas, and a little bit of wood and pepper, almost a dirt or sand smell and taste. Even the scent smells of heat, unfortunately after several tries the alcohol burn and burned everything tasting notes makes this one a pass.

Sweet heat. Love it. Thanks @ Kevin
