A while back I enjoyed some 1792 Small Batch Bourbon. Its pretty decent stuff. Recently I had the benefit a bottle of the 1792 Bottled in Bond. This bourbon has to be aged at least 4 years; has to be made by a single distiller at a single distillery; has to be aged in a bonded warehouse; and, has to be bottled at 100 proof to be designated as Bottled in Bond.

In the 1800s there was a lot of whiskey being made under suspect conditions and with additives to alter flavor. The government required bottling in bond back then as a means to protect the consumer. 1792 Bottled in Bond’s flavor is less pronounced than the small batch, but it so smooth. Superior drinkability. No bite, just easy sipping. I rate it at 84.

Then I was blessed with a bottle of the 1792 Full Proof. Wow this is good. A flavor powerhouse that matches up with the big name expensive boubons. Wide array of caramel, stone fruit, citrus and other notes. Its smooth finish belies the fact that it is 125 proof. What a great boubon. Get yourself some of this. You won’t be sorry. I rate it at 94

Try the three 1792s and let me know what you think. Bob
