What the Distiller Says
In 1897, the Bottled-in-Bond Act revolutionized the quality of American whiskey. Carrying on that tradition, this well-aged bourbon from barrels all filled during the same season was bottled at exactly 100 proof for a bold taste and a lingering finish – a testament to the Bottled-in-Bond Act established over a century ago.
TASTING NOTES
True to its heritage, the unmistakenable spice of 1792 Bourbon is met with notes of charred oak and fresh mint. Subtle caramel apple tones are delicately balanced with the lingering essence of coffee and black pepper.
What Gary Says
Nose: Vanilla, salted caramel with a touch of cinnamon, charred oak and a hint of dark chocolate.
Palate: Caramel cream candies with vanilla, cinnamon building to a nutty pepper spice.
Finish: Moderate in length with peppery notes.
Comments: A very solid bourbon, and spicy like you would expect a 1792 to be. The nose brings a bit more wood than the typical 4 yr old bottled-in-bond (not sure if this is perhaps older, or from being aged at the top of the rickhouse). While solid, not special – but priced well above other bottled-in-bond offerings.
Rating: Stands Out
I would like to thank my dad for sending me home with a sample to review.
