1792 Small Batch Review

This bourbon is produced at the historic Barton 1792 distillery, in Bardstown, Ky. Though it is the entry-level expression in the 1792 family, this small-batch release sports an attractive decanter, and the liquid inside is similarly classy. Bold notes of caramel and toasted oak run throughout, making this a great budget option for sipping or mixing in whiskey cocktails. Start with an Old Fashioned.
