  • If you’re chasing hot bourbons, you may be a fan of 1792 Full Proof, but if you’re looking for a bourbon that’s high in proof and high in flavor, look elsewhere.

  • I wouldn’t call this a fantastic bourbon, but I would call it a great one for sure.

  • In the end, it remains a little muddy, finishing a bit like a damp cinnamon roll — nothing offensive, but just a bit off structurally.

  • Unfortunately, the heat muted many of the additional flavors I was hoping to find, particularly in the finish, and in the end I was somewhat underwhelmed with the overall profile.

  • Not without its flaws, this "full proof" bourbon packs enough flavor into an approachably shippable bourbon at a great price point to be an excellent purchase for those who land a bottle.

  • I wanted to like this but just like all of the other 1792 releases Ive had (including their core small batch) have left me thinking 1792 could have just done a little better. That said, I've had amazing single barrels.

  • Soothing finish. A wonderful way to end a meal. (With a cigar, perhaps?)

House Review
  • Nose:

    Caramel, dough, spicy clove. Mildly vegetal but mostly funky and corn heavy sweetness. Some thick caramel. Musty notes.

  • Taste:

    Sweet and fruity - lots of banana and toffee and caramel. Young roughness - some strawberry and a whop of burn. Its hot, even for its proof and although a load of more caramel comes in to see it off, I cant help but hope for the finish to save this dram.

  • Finish:

    Long and very sweet, particularly in the fruity caramel dimension. Also very hot. Im not sure if this is a hot mess or not but it really isnt quite as good as the nose was leading me to believe.

  • Overall:

    I wanted to like this but just like all of the other 1792 releases Ive had (including their core small batch) have left me thinking 1792 could have just done a little better. That said, I've had amazing single barrels.
