The last of my 1792 limited run to try, just a tad stronger than the single barrel, the BiB so far seems like a more "interesting" addition. As I found the bottle at a pretty reasonable price, decided to include it in the run.
Extremely oily beads form on the glass, the characteristic old Barton wood notes waft off the top, and yes the ripe banana, more distinct here than in the other Barton offerings. Some sour apple, acetate and vanilla sugars also make a showing in the nose.
On the tongue I like this a lot, probably because the palate offers up some deep sugars and fruit blends that largely out battle the barton barn wood so prevalent in this distillery's product. While the amber sugar is perceptible, it gets overshadowed by the fructose and again hints of the barn wood. Lot's of warmth and sweet heat finish with just a touch of the rye spice 1792 is known for, the well aged aspect is clear in the overall smooth finish and lack of any green bitters. I can understand why this may well be too sweet for some palates and tastes as it just seems to be less cut of the 1792 high proof offerings.
Not going to lie I like this one better than the single barrel and about as well as the high rye, considering how much bourbon got lost in the great rick house collapse of '18, we might be lucky to see these bottles making a repeat appearance.
In the 40 dollar range I would call this one a winner.

@dubz480 the store full proof....mmmmmm good! Honey, caramel, vanilla and warmth= spades!
@dubz480 surprised the hell out of me and but me on a 12 yr 1792 quest
@dubz Unfortunately I didn't get a Full Proof, they were everywhere for so long and now I'm not even sure I can locate one. Maybe will try it on the next bar run, thanks, cheer!
Great review as always! I agree, better than the SiB but I think the High Rye pips it! Have you had a Full Proof Store Pick yet? for the same money I think those are the best! Cheers!
