1792 Full Proof Single Barrel Select Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) - Whiskey Hunt Australia 4th Edition
WHA's fourth release from Barton Distillery comes after their first trip to Kentucky in over two years (thanks to covid). As always, the VIP group favoured a big and bold 1792, but found it hard going doing barrel selections in a freezing rickhouse. They ended up taking samples indoors to let them open up at room temperature. We recommend you do the same! Barrel #8467 is another solid and well-poised full-proof release, with interesting hints of liquorice bullets refreshing and threading through the corn oils and fresh oaky notes. No shortage of peppers add a warming kick to the creamy finish which has light vanilla and caramel in tow. Drawn from rick 6, floor 7 and aged just one month shy of eight years, it leans towards the drier, spicier side of Bourbon. 174 bottles have landed. 62.5% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
