1792 BIB Single Barrel Select (North Carolina 2021)
NOSE: Dry Tobacco, Cinnamon, Dry Oak, Brown Sugar, Candy Apple, Grassy Barnyard Funk, and a slight Alcohol Burn.
NEAT: Decent Coating/Clingy Mouthfeel, Vanilla, Oak Tannins, Big Hit of Cinnamon Heat, Black Pepper Spice, Dark Heavy Fall Spices, and Orange Peel. There is an underlying taste of Young Dry Corn that throws it off just a bit. Spicy Slightly Drying Finish with a Big KYHug blooming in the chest leaving a coating of Cinnamon on the palate.
SPLASH: Improves it a bit. Gains a Tartness and becomes more Fruit Forward. Orange & Lemon Peel, Granny Smith Apple, The coating finish gains a bit of Sweetness.
VERDICT: Time open has helped this bottle. One of the better Bartons I've had (and the best 1792). The issue here is that Young Corn Note that I feel would've been blended out had it been a part of the Regular BIB Batching. That lead to a quarter point reduction. A little water did disguise it a bit and gave it an overall Fruity character that I really enjoyed. I think I'll definitely give the standard BIB a shot if I see it. The Barton profile may be growing on me a bit.

I've noticed 1792 offerings seem to improve the longer they're opened. The bib is one of my favorites of their line that I've tried.
