Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

I have to admit, I was skeptical about tasting 1792 bourbon, but after seeing a VA pick at my local ABC I decided to try some. The 1792 Single Barrel was actually quite delightful bottled at 98.6 proof/49.3% ABV. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon is distilled and barreled in Bardstown KY in charred oak barrels is hand selected from the best in the warehouses.
Color: Red Auburn
There was a strong sweetness on the nose almost like the sweet icing on a cinnamon roll. Other sweet aromas were present such as brown sugar, caramel truffle, cocoa, and graham cracker. Following on the palate the rye spice kicked up a bit with notes of toffee, baking spices, and a peanut butter taste. The rye spice was heavy especially heavy up front. The finish is long with hints of tobacco and charred oak with some lingering sweetness.

Nice review. I have the VA pick as well and it is sweet and easy to drink. I pick up much of the same notes as well with the rye spice.
It may be subliminal, but I always get “red” notes from 1792. Cherry, Cinnamon Red Hots, Crisp Red Apple.
$60 seems high, it's $40 in NC
I always get cherry with this bottle, and never enough to be medicinal cherry cough syrup. I have had several store picks from Virginia and several NC ABC outlets. All outstanding.
