Liquor City Uncorked pick, "Gallenstein Selection #14"
Barrel No. 421
Open 2 months
Nose - Creme brulee, toasted marshmallow, milk chocolate, black cherry, allspice, rich oak, and medium ethanol.
Palate - Chocolate covered cherries, orange bitters, custard, caramel, sweet tobacco, and cinnamon cream. Finish is medium-long with rich vanilla glazed churros, sweet oak, white pepper, orange oil, and medium ethanol.
These continue to be one of the best value high proof bourbons on the market, full stop. What's legitimately surprising is there is a scarcity of many sought-after bourbons in Kentucky due to tourism, but these 1792 Full Proof picks are actually pretty easy to find. I don't get it. These have a similar profile to what people chase with Buffalo Trace products, but are cheaper and easier to find. You'll never see them more than $70 at any private store, and typically they're under $60. And people actually chase the subjectively much worse 1792 products like Sweet Wheat, BiB, 12 Year, and Single Barrel. Honestly, I think I've seen more Full Proof bottles in the last 2 years than those other 4 combined. If you see a pick, I highly recommend picking one up. It'll compete with Elijah Craig, Old Forester, or Jack Daniel's picks.
