1792 Small Batch Bourbon

Cherry and banana’s

I got just a quart (375ml) since I didn't know whether I'd like this whisky - it cost me $18.99. A fifth would of course be more. This whisky is 93.7 proof, which I like since I prefer higher proof juice. According to unofficial information I found online the mash bill is 75% corn, 15% rye, and 10% barley. In the glass it's the color of new copper, and there's no age statement. NOSE: I found it very hard to get at the nose. Alcohol comes right out of the glass, but any other notes are hard to tease out. This is the only whisky I've ever come across which at first seemed like it had no aroma at all. But finally I was able to discern vanilla, caramel, a tinge of grass, creamed corn, caramel apples, and dark toast. TASTE: Butterscotch, buttered corn, buttered honey, dark toast. I expected a more complex taste after I finally was able to get such complexity out of the nose, but nope, this is all there was. FINISH: The finish is long, and begins with a little too much oak. Finally some honey comes in, a buttery note, and some very faint grass. This is a good bourbon, but not a great one. It would be worth a price about three dollars lower; at $19 it's a little overpriced. But it is good.
