1792 Single Barrel Bourbon

Pavilions/Vons/Albertsons barrel pick. Barrel 8191. Color: medium/light copper Nose: Oak, caramel, sweet Palate: Medium/slightly creamy mouth feel. Spicy and sweet, slight chest hug. More woodiness/oak tannins. Bitter cherry on the back end. Finish is medium with a buttery quality. This is very good. Since it's a store pick, I'm thinking I should grab another bottle before it's gone, because it's definitely worth a second purchase. I'll be interested in what I get from future pours. I have a feeling this is a bottle that will evolve over time. Solid 3.75. I hesitate to give it a 4 at this time, because I reserve 4 and above for bottles that knock me out from the get-go. But I won't be surprised if I decide to give this a bump before I finish this bottle. Added 6/30/23: Second visit with this bottle... got a good dose of vanilla and maybe a hint o' molasses, as well, on the nose this time 'round. Same spicy-sweet-oaky palate as in my first pour/review. My score holds at 3.75. Solid bourbon for the price. 1792 has yet to disappoint me. Added 7/14/23: Bottle-kill pour. Nice peanutty flavor that I did not get from the first and subsequent pours. Score stands at 3.75 stars, but JUST misses 4. I noticed this week that my grocery store sold out of this barrel pick. So it's officially in the books.

NOSE Banana pudding, oak, vanilla, hazkenut PALETTE Banilla, butterscotch, banana, FINISH Short, thin. Sawdust, vanilla

I liked the vanilla, but the spice didn’t have a taste reward. Still good, just not a robust flavor.

No flavor. Littlr heat
