Letting the bourbon sit and breathe for a few minutes, enhanced the overall experience of both the nose and palate. If you are lucky enough to come across a bottle or two, I highly recommend you purchasing it.
Give it a little air and things open up in time — the chewy cinnamon bun of a finish is worth waiting for — but otherwise there’s not that much to get too excited about.
1792 Sweet Wheat Bourbon is great. It’s not mind-blowingly complex, but it’s rich, dense and has a nice oaken backbone supporting and balancing the sweeter notes.
Good and very reminiscent of W12 except for the banana notes. It’s good but low proof wheaters aren’t really my jam I’m discovering – too sweet and almost cloyingly so.
No heat, mildly oily, sweet and banana runt/laffy taffy forward. clove, vanilla bean ice cream, root beer, light fruity sweetness
Finish:
Medium and little heat. Sweet and very reminiscent of Weller 12
Overall:
Good and very reminiscent of Weller 12 except for the banana notes. It's good but low proof wheaters aren't really my jam I'm discovering - too sweet and almost cloyingly so. I'm giving this a Rank 5 - its a good dram and does what its supposed to well. That being said, I don't love it because its cloying sweet to me.
