1792 Full Proof Straight Bourbon

Lots of heat initially. Then settles down to all of the standard bourbon flavors. Vanilla, oak, and cinnamon. A little bit of allspice. It drinks really smooth, but needs a little water to open up the flavors, but it is 62.5% abv so no surprises there. The real surprise is that it’s smooth enough to enjoy neat.

Single barrel from Ace Spirits Nose is all black cherry, red apple, and vanilla with a hint of orange peel on the tail end. Bits of oak and smoke linger but the nose is a fruit bomb. Almost like a Cherry Icee...in a good way. Still a fruit bomb, but banana is most prevalent, as is my and other's experience with Barton juice. There's other sweet flavors here too, mostly caramel and vanilla. These flavors linger for quite some time and coat the tongue well. Hints of cinnamon and white pepper help this from being too sweet. But man, its like bananas foster in a glass. Grab this one for a sweet flavor bomb. I quite love it but it is fairly straightforward which is just fine in my book, as long as the straightforward flavors are enjoyable, and these are quite enjoyable and have very good length

Earth tones on the nose. Soft caramel on the palate

Store pick. Neck pour. Strong alcohol on the nose with honey pear. After a half teaspoon of water, caramel in addition to honey, pear on the nose. Caramel, dry oak, vanilla, honey pear on palate. Cinammon, clove, white pepper. Hot and tingly on palate. I get more spice and heat in the mouth, not in my chest. Med-long finish. Without water, alcohol is dominant.

Drinks lower than its proof, lots of caramel, great daily for the price point and availability
