Finally found this elusive bottle. Quite a fan of some 1792 expressions (BIB, Full Proof) and others not so much (Small Batch) so curious to see where this lands. Aroma is rich and sweet with Corn Pops cereal, apricot, clove, vanilla, oak, and only the slightest hint of typical 1792 banana. Palate is rich but extremely soft; lots of oak influence leading things off which is a bit of a contrast from the sweeter elements found in the nose. Other notes of imitation vanilla extract and walnut appear but oak is dominant leaving this kind of one dimensional. No hint of banana which quite frankly would have been welcome. Finish is a nice toasted caramel, followed by some nutmeg and clove but it is VERY short. Mouthfeel is airy and drying. Overall I found this to be a disappointment. As far as a flavor profile it is closer to the Small Batch than some of the other expressions. Apparently this is what you get when you remove the banana notes from a 1792 product; you get sort of an unremarkable plain Jane bit of a bourbon. Maybe it’s the proof, maybe it’s actually overaged, but it just doesn’t do it for me. At $50 for a 12 year age statement it’s very hard to call this a bad value, but I would not pay anywhere near that price for another bottle.
