1792 Ridgemont Reserve Bourbon 8 Year

Two words: Fan-tastic.

Look: Dark orange, slight alcohol legs, and translucent. Nose: Fairly sweet smells, with a mix of some baking spices. Fruit forward I’d say. Palate: Cinnamon, black pepper up front, underlying sweetness with caramel mid palate, followed by a more spice dominated finish. Finish: Dry, and fairly hot. I get a bready note in the finish, as well as plenty of spice. Later in the finish, some grape peel comes up. Overall: A fairly good bourbon, relative simple, but easy to drink. Little bit of heat, but perhaps that’s from some rust if not drinking whiskey for a while.
