Bold rich caramel smells like it was just poured straight from the pan. It cannot be understated how effective its freshness and intensity is. A tide raises all ships, and the caramel’s intensity brings with it bouts of butter, nougat, cookie dough, and spicy cinnamon. It’s an extremely compelling aroma that is all the more surprising due to the bourbon’s sub-100 proof point. A barrel proof aroma in intensity, yet with the accessibility of a lower proof whiskey. The nose kicks this bourbon off right.A perfectly tempered base of caramel and oak is ever-present, but what is lifted above it is what is even more noteworthy. An expertly balanced fusion of milk chocolate, plum, sweet pastry, and golden raisins is surprising in how well it works. This unique pairing of flavors perform in equal measure, offering precise intensity, controlled sweetness, and mild spiciness. Furthermore, a delicate thread of apricot is woven throughout and adds an extra spark that ignites this palate.Not to be outdone, the finish ends the sip by introducing a slew of new and willfully effective flavors. Spearheaded by a layer of fudge, additional notes of nutmeg, dates, and hazelnut provides for a rich and flavorful bed. 1792’s traditional spice note finally reveals itself, and though it’s late to the game, it’s effective at bringing out additional notes of burnt sugar and toasted marshmallow. A solid body and medium to long finish further enhances an overall great tasting finish.
