1792 Single Barrel Bourbon

Tropical pineapple and pina colada nose with a light, smooth, and fruity body with a bright and light vanilla butterscotch finish.

Nose is sweet with vanilla highlights. Taste is mild wood with some vanilla and chocolate. Finish has a little spice and fruit. Very good bourbon.

I have to admit, I was skeptical about tasting 1792 bourbon, but after seeing a VA pick at my local ABC I decided to try some. The 1792 Single Barrel was actually quite delightful bottled at 98.6 proof/49.3% ABV. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon is distilled and barreled in Bardstown KY in charred oak barrels is hand selected from the best in the warehouses. Color: Red Auburn There was a strong sweetness on the nose almost like the sweet icing on a cinnamon roll. Other sweet aromas were present such as brown sugar, caramel truffle, cocoa, and graham cracker. Following on the palate the rye spice kicked up a bit with notes of toffee, baking spices, and a peanut butter taste. The rye spice was heavy especially heavy up front. The finish is long with hints of tobacco and charred oak with some lingering sweetness.
