1792 Full Proof Straight Bourbon

Hot pour incoming. It's pretty good and at a fair price. If I'm going for high proof bourbon, I prefer Knob 120, ECBP and JDBP for a little extra cash. You could definitely do worse than 1792 FP though.

High proof and strong but good underlying flavor.

Revisited this rating after a couple of weeks, and four or five more pours... It's sweeter and more well balanced than when I first tucked in. Tarnished copper, pretty sticky for such a high proof. Lots of slow legs Toast, vanilla, mint, cinnamon, black cherry and a hint of rye funk on the nose. Front of citrus, eucalyptus, cinnamon and balanced with a hint of sweetness mid palate, and a bit of dark honey and coconut. Plenty of heat left behind after the swallow Very woody finish lingers after burnt caramel and clove. Woody/sweet/charry/fruity Opens up nicely with a few drops of water and as it warms up and breathes, the smokey/burnt caramel character grows. Lots going on here, no doubt... But dryer and spicier than I'm inclined to. I think it would be incredible in an old fashioned with molasses bitters and/or maple simple

Packs a lot of heat because it's high proof. May need an ice cube to bring out the sweetness
