Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon 1792

Description

The distillery was named 1792, the year in which Kentucky became a state. A gold medal winner at the 2018 International Spirits Challenge, it pours deep amber with aromas of apple, citrus, toffee, vanilla, coffee and spice. Palate is full-bodied and rich, with notes of maple syrup, apricot and sweet oak the long finish.

Tasting Notes

A high rye component adds peppery lift to the predominant and sweeter corn in this bourbon, formerly named Ridgemont Reserve. But this is a rich, creamy spirit at its core. Brown sugar, butter, toffee, apple pie and licorice come through on a velvety texture. It carries the (precisely measured) 46.85-per-cent alcohol well, thanks to its depth of flavour. Score - 94.
