Liquor Barn barrel pick. Picked from Warehouse D. Hoping this will be good. I usually don't buy anything new that I can't find any information on, and although I was able to get some info on this after a bit of digging, it really should not be that hard to learn about your product that you're trying to sell me. The original Puncher's Chance wasn't interesting enough for me, but seeing that Liquor Barn was getting this exclusive single barrel, and getting it at barrel strength, caught my interest. Plus, it's sourced from Bardstown, the heart of KY for bourbon (in my opinion), so I should hope to like this at least somewhat. For some unknown reason, I thought this was going to have strong cherry notes, but luckily it does not. Instead, I initially got a very strong cinnamon spice on the nose, but after coming back to it, this mellowed out to just a little bit of light fruit and some berries, but mostly good oak caramel and heavy ethanol from the proof. The proof, high but not insanely so, is the first thing that goes to work, coating the gums with a nice spice forward profile. I'm getting a bit of the light fruit along with some young grain flavor as well, but the majority of the flavor is really "standard" bourbon, something you would expect to come from a veteran Bardstown distillery. The finish lasts a good while due to the proof, but fades away quickly from all flavor except a bit of dark chocolate. I would not be surprised at all to find that this involves 1792's mash bill or even the final product right out of the barrel. If you like the 1792 small batch, you would like this, and honestly not find too much of a difference between the two. This costs a little too much to justify itself given the similarities, but because this is also a rare offering, redeems itself back well enough in that way.
