1792 Single Barrel Bourbon

If you buy this, drink it in the first 48 hours. Only then will it be worth it. This went from great to bad faster than the 1792 Full Proof. Like the Full Proof, on opening it was a delight. Less carmel & cinnamon than the Full Proof was on opening, but still so sweet you couldn't imagine it was over 30% alcohol. It didn't make it 4 days before becoming cinnamon hell. No amount of ice could tame that beast. I tried a 50/50 mix with some Johnnie Black, which tamed it for 3 more days. On the 4th it turned into what can only be described as a Fireball on steroids with a hint of Johnnie Black. Again, if you buy this, drink it before the end of day 2.

West coast 2019 - 1st whiskey tasted. Good bourbon, $89. Not sure I’d buy.

Really like this one. Fun to sip on.

Store pick from Sun Devil Liquors in Mesa, Arizona The nose is medium strength with banana, butterscotch, and pear leading the way. Waaayyy down in there is a whiff of cedar. Enjoyable. Palate opens with the butterscotch and banana from the nose, with the addition of cake frosting and a good amount of caramel. Some clove creeps in there as it heads to the spice laden finish, which is on the long side of medium with big pop of ginger ale, clove, and cinnamon. Drinks right at it's proof point, which feels right for the flavors. Medium body, but very oily (a good thing). I really enjoyed this; the aromas and flavor profile don't stray to far from what you'd expect from 1792 but this is probably the most balanced of the line that I have had, which may owe to it's store pick status. Sun Devil definitely picked a good one, no doubt about that. At $30, it's an absolute STEAL, and I will be going back for more.
