Neat. Neck pour. Party source pick. Around 8 years old. This is my first 1792 Full Proof pick. I have had one without the sticker. Off memory, I remember liking it but not understand the hype and awards. Also heard the ones without the sticker can be better balanced. Should be interesting...
Oh funky. Smells like a caramel brownie first impression. Yeah, I’m sticking to that call. Caramel brownie. Very very sweet on the nose. Really good apple note behind that. Hint of pepper. Maybe a cherry too. Solid nose. Not interesting or delicious, just passes the bar.
Very very nice, silky mouthfeel. That is a stand out quality. Super sweet and dark on the tongue. Dark chocolate, let’s say 60% cocoa. On the taste it transitions to a delightful nutty and apple combo and then slams into that caramel chocolate brownie. And those brownies have an impressive hang time. Oh that is good. Geez, the grannie apple really comes out on the finish the more I sip this. Only down side is that it is very tannic and drying and the bitterness builds in the back of the throat. Nothing a few sips of water can’t reset.
Yeah, this is a great pour. Best thing I have had with the 1792 label. The apple note on this is insane. It’s really taking over the more I sit with this. I am just going to sit back and enjoy this one for awhile.

Wow, this sounds entirely different from the regular FP. The banana flavor becoming more like chocolate sounds great.
