1792 makes an amazing Full Proof, but the rest of the line has not really impressed me. My wife likes drams a little more on the sweet side so despite the lower ratings here I decided to bring home a bottle. Nose is ... well it's sweet. Nothing overpowering here. Basic vanilla and brown sugar scents. First sip is very light on the front end. The opening is flat to be honest. Then the caramel notes come through followed by peanut brittle. The finish is very mild and short. Ok. This is an interesting one. The overall dram is just a bit thin. There are actually some nice things going on with the soft peanut brittle notes, but they just don't do enough to push this into a really good score for me. I think this is an excellent bottle to enter the whiskey world. It is mild and still brings some classic flavors. I don't love this one, but no regrets on buying it. If you can get it at $35 it is definitively better than many others at the price point and I would say grab one. Unfortunately it has become a bit scarce and at $50 your other options start to outweigh this one.
