The 1792 Small Batch had several interesting notes on the nose that I was able to pick up on. Yes, you get the typical sweetened aromas of corn and caramel, but there was also a hint of fresh greens and medicinal herbs. My first nosing was that of cut grass and a blend of echinacea and chamomile - not unpleasant, but different. On the palate, the bourbon opens up a little more where one would experience the taste of woody notes and candied fruits with a hint of smoke. Although I was hoping for a longer finish, the drinking experience was warm, pleasant, and all-in-all quite enjoyable. This bourbon would make a decent post-dinner sipper over some rocks.
NOSE: Corn, caramel, grass, echinacea, chamomile, oak
PALATE: Oak, wood fibres, strawberries, candied cherries, simple syrup, light smoke
FINISH: Corn, vanilla, sea salt
Rating: 83/100
Grade: B
Good – not a “must”, but a nice-to-have.
