1792 Single Barrel (Premier Group SBS)

The nose starts softly with dry oak, vanilla, floral rye spice with hints of baking spices and brown sugar being faintly present. Notes of sweet banana gradually appears giving it it's unique quality. The palate starts off gentle but then opens up with a burst of baking spices, giving it quite a bit of heat, but in an enjoyable way. It is somewhat chewy with a little bit of richness, although the creaminess from the nose doesn't carry over too strongly. There is a bit of oak at the end of the palate, but this does feel a little one dimensional. The finish is long and spicy with a lingering heat and those faint hints of oak in the background. Not much to unpack with this whiskey, it is very simple but enjoyable to sip for those who prefer a kick of spice and heat.
