1792 Single Barrel Bourbon

Nose bubblegum sweetness, honey, light fruit like a really sweet apple almost canned peaches, tropical fruit resembling pineapple and quick bit of lemon. Slight but not overwhelming alcohol smell. Hidden in the back is a buttery caramel corn note. Almost like someone added browned butter to regular caramel corn. Palate is the same bubblegum sweetness, quick hint of banana, and the fruit note strong pepper, rye spice and cherry note mid palate, more rye spice ramps up almost giving a cinnamon note and wood tannin on the end. Finish is rather short the only notes that are left in the finish are honey sweetness, barrel char and apple with the skin so it's got that touch of sour/bitterness that you get from eating apple skin. I enjoy these incorporate a bit of everything well into one whiskey kind of drams. Then again I like challenging and smokey bourbons and scotches.

Tropical fruits on the nose, like pineapple and papaya. Grassy, herbal, some oak spice and caramel. Palate shows the pineapple and grassy qualities of the nose, while adding in quite a bit more sweetness with toasted coconut, creme brulee, and butterscotch, but spices start sneaking in before the sweetness takes over. Annise, cinnamon, and white pepper show its head in the higher rye mash. Smooth but not too rich and finish is somewhat abrupt but still pleasant as it lingers.

I'm enjoying this. Got ethanol and vanilla on the nose neat. With a bit of water this bourbon explodes with banana and pear. Quite enjoyable on the pallet and nice mildly spicy finish with lingering banana. I'd buy this again.

Sweet, smooth, east sipper.

Had to hop on the bandwagon. Nose of rye and banana but taste vanilla, Carmel and pepper. I feel like I get a small initial taste of pear as well. Not much heat but some there.
