1792 Single Barrel Select #2187

1792 Series (5 of 10): Single Barrel Store Pick Did you know: There are distilleries that call their whiskies “single cask” even though they are technically combining multiple casks (potentially of different kinds) into one giant cask for final maturation. Single casks whiskies coming from multiple casks. I love this hobby. Nose is banana. Cream. Sugar. Melon. Strawberries. Yeast. Roses. Body is caramel, cherry syrup, chocolate. Celery. Red apples. Watermelon. The cherry syrup can border on medicinal, but aside from that it’s really well done. Finish is vanilla, cinnamon, more cherry. Lemon. As disappointing as the BiB store pick was in comparison to the standard BiB, this is the opposite. I found the standard SiB to be boring and plain. This store pick contains rich notes that I didn’t even catch a hint of in the standard issue. It’s complex and expertly balanced. My favorite 1792 so far, aside from the small batch. Looking forward to the next on-deck: 1792 Full Proof, aka black label
