Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of 1792 12Yr Straight Bourbon Whisky wraps you in a warm, caramel embrace, unfolding layers of toasted oak and vanilla that linger long after the glass is set down. Crafted in the United States and bottled at a robust 46.00% ABV, this bourbon’s deep amber hue hints at its years spent aging in new charred American oak barrels. Each taste reveals notes of baking spice, dark cherry, and a touch of leather—complex yet inviting. It’s the perfect companion for smoky Barbecue Ribs or a square of rich Dark Chocolate, where its bold character stands up to hearty flavors while adding an extra dimension to every bite.
