1792 Small Batch Bourbon

My favorite low cost bottle. Excellent buttery mouth feel. Be careful to pair it with savory not sweet foods.

My second tasting of this was much better than the first. The first time I didn't get much other than oak. But on subsequent tastings it seemed to have settled down and I got big cherry notes on the pallet and not much bitterness from the barrel. I dig it and find it tough to rate. It's somewhere between a 3.75 and 3.5 for me but at the moment I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt and going with a 3.75. Maybe later tastings will change that.

Smooth start with a satisfying heat. Oak influences with a light orange and spice. Slight bitterness with some vanilla. Overall a very solid bourbon for the price tag.

Good balance. More rye than I typically like, but still very good.
