Store pick from Sun Devil Liquors in Mesa, Arizona
The nose is medium strength with banana, butterscotch, and pear leading the way. Waaayyy down in there is a whiff of cedar. Enjoyable.
Palate opens with the butterscotch and banana from the nose, with the addition of cake frosting and a good amount of caramel. Some clove creeps in there as it heads to the spice laden finish, which is on the long side of medium with big pop of ginger ale, clove, and cinnamon. Drinks right at it's proof point, which feels right for the flavors. Medium body, but very oily (a good thing).
I really enjoyed this; the aromas and flavor profile don't stray to far from what you'd expect from 1792 but this is probably the most balanced of the line that I have had, which may owe to it's store pick status. Sun Devil definitely picked a good one, no doubt about that. At $30, it's an absolute STEAL, and I will be going back for more.

I like the SiB because it doesn't pound you down with banana the way the higher proof 1792's do, even though they're all delicious.
