1792 Single Barrel Bourbon

Nose - dusty corn, toffee, vanilla cream, apple, clove, nutmeg, pepper, chocolate covered banana, prickly barrel spice, moderate to high ethanol burn. Taste - corn sweetness, chocolate, caramel, clove, pepper, apple, banana, allspice, cinnamon, vanilla, barrel char, moderate to high alcohol bite, finishing fast and bright with corn sweetness, sour oak, and young alcohol notes. It’s not bad, but I’m not a fan. There are some nice notes, especially the chocolate covered banana I’m picking up on the nose, but overall it reads like a decent Canadian in that it’s very sweet (tastes like a high corn mash bill), prickly, and lacking some of the low notes I appreciate in my favorite bourbons. Shout out to @ContemplativeFox for providing the sample.

light orchard fruit, vanilla pudding... some spice, weak finish
