Description | 1792 - Small BatchIn the year 1792, Kentucky became a state. 1792 Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey is named after that wonderful year.
This is a higher-rye bourbon, with about 20% of the mash bill consisting of the peppery grain. It’s aged eight years, bottled at 93.7 proof and priced and marketed to compete against labels like Knob Creek and, indeed, Woodford Reserve.
- Appearance: The bourbon is a deep caramel color, and a swirl forms legs that stick like a beaded necklace to the glass, then sluggishly make their way back down.
- Nose: A palate of sweet honey and vanilla tones is balanced with orange and spice, hinting at the relatively high rye content.
- Palate: Quite tannic and fairly peppery, with a heavily woody flavor profile.
- Finish: Oak predominates on a long, but drying, nearly hot finish. Some vanilla also peeks through.
