So first off this is a store pick and apparently that makes a big difference from what the interwebs are saying (at least that's what the dumb whiskey groups i follow on FB are saying). I was in the mood for some high proof tonight since i'm writing a Master's paper for my business class and i needed something to help free up my inner author skills. So here i am at 12:30am drinking and writing while being somewhat dehydrated from my run earlier this evening also. Long intro sory. Here we go. Store pick from Party Liquors here in Florida near Tampa. It's a beauty pouring her into my glass. Nice and dark with some viscous legs that hang down like a tarantula? Sure okay that can be a descriptor, "tarantula", it is the month of Halloween here so I'm taking full advantage of Halloween since everything since March has been complete crap. Back to my review.... Okay so nice dark and viscous so far. I'm getting a wonderful banana and vanilla smell out of this. No complaints on the nose. Let's see what she's got for us going down the gullet.... Wow this doesn't burn as much as i expected going down the the hatch. Has some wonderful oak flavoring to it. Not much of the banana but some vanilla. I get some heat but not nearly as much as the proof would suggest there would be. Man i missed having some barrel proofs. I've been staying low abv lately since i'm being healthier running and cycling. This is certainly not the best BP, nor the worst I've had, but it's great for the $45 dollars i paid a while ago for it. I'm a diehard ECBP fanboy but this is a very good BP. The regular 1792 is very nice as well but for most others i think the BP may be a bit too much heat. Again this is all subjective and keep in mind this is based on a store pick so it may vary from barrel to barrel. Cheers. Good night. 10/10/20
