1792 Full Proof - K&L Single Barrel Pick (Review)

Hey guys, welcome to another video. Today we're reviewing 1792 Full Proof

So just recently I did a video talking about my favorites from the 1792 lineup. I went to a

tasting where we tried their whole lineup as well as a few rare ones that are really hard to find

And the only one that I really fell in love with that was available to purchase that night

was the 1792 Bottle & Bond. As you can tell, I just killed this bottle. I actually poured a

little bit to taste alongside the new foolproof. So I have a little bit of that here with me

But yeah, this is actually a store pick from K&L Wine and Spirits, which is a local liquor store

near me in Hollywood. And this is actually from barrel number 3087. Not sure what that means to

anyone, but I want to list it off because they've had a few different single barrels at this store

It is foolproof. Now, I recently learned that foolproof doesn't necessarily mean cast strength

And what they do is they bottle all of their full proof releases, even their store picks, at 62.5% alcohol or 125 proof

That's mainly for consistency so they don't have to change the bottle or the label or anything like that

But at the same time it still really up there A lot of cast strength whiskeys aren even that high proof So I not faulting them for that Weller Weller doing the same thing with their new Weller Full Proof I going to take a sip of the bottle and bond first Like I said this was my favorite for the longest time

just to kind of set my palate for this and see what stands out as better or maybe not as good

in the Full Proof. So let's go ahead and give it a try. You hear the note Bananas Foster a lot on

bourbon. There is not a more Bananas Foster bourbon than this one. This one is so deserty

so it has that banana kind of like an artificial banana taste it's not overwhelming though like

something like jack daniels is to me personally it's really blends really well with the bready

thick sugary deserty qualities that i really love about bourbon so that was the 1792 bottle and bond

i just want to set my palate with that sad i'm finishing the bottle and bond but so excited to

get into this guy so i would say graham cracker or some kind of like pie crust i get that really

heavy on the nose with a little bit of the banana back there. But there's a lot more of the dessert-y

bready quality that is one of my favorite things about this whiskey. So I'm really excited to try

the foolproof and see if the extra proof really does help. So cheers. Oh, it does drink hot

You got to prepare yourself for that. Thank God I sipped on that one a little bit. But so this foolproof pick was only Regular foolproof I think is like when it not a pick This Bottle and Bond was like so it only like more It not drastically different even though this is a

single barrel store pick. It takes the qualities that are really good about the Bottle and Bond

and their other releases and really focuses on a certain note. So this one I read the description

on the website and what they described this barrel as. They say it's a sweeter rounder profile

and someone else said it's um has a nose sweet corn and spicy rye it has like a cool mint and

touch of dill um on the i guess they're talking about the yeah they're talking about the nose

still so they get a little bit of dill and mint i guess it is a high rye bourbon so i could see

where they're coming from that you do get a lot of the rice spice i've kind of i get those notes

you guys know my reviews i get those notes all the time with uh rye i always get like a minty

notes. So totally get where they're coming from with that. Honestly, I said in my last video

the bottle of the bomb was the best one that I could buy that night, but the foolproof won hands

down. It was my absolute favorite in their lineup. So when I saw a store pick of the foolproof pop up

I had to pick it up. And I am so not disappointed that I did. This is one of the most affordable

not quite cast strength but foolproof whiskeys in the game It only in my area It maybe more in your area but for to less than a Booker or a Elijah Craig Barrel Proof which are my favorites this is really unique

I don't say I would prefer it over those, but that's just my personal palate. But it's unique, and it's different enough

So if you may not like those, you may not like those big, bold, oaky flavors, and you like more of a dessert-y, almost like a Bananas Foster note, give this a try

because if that's your thing, a lot of people could gravitate toward this, and I can see this

being a lot of people's favorite foolproof whiskey. So this definitely gets a recommendation from me

What do you guys think of the 1792 Distillery? I know it's kind of like one of those outliers

that a lot of people don't think about. Some people really love it. Some people are kind of meh about it. I'm really growing on it, and I like their foolproof offerings, and I think the store

picks are even better. If you like this video, make sure to leave a thumbs up, and if you're new here

welcome. I do live streams almost every Thursday night, so check those out. I like to talk to you

guys and review things, and occasionally I'll put out in one of these little produced videos just

when I get excited about something. And 1792 Foolproof is definitely something to get excited

about. So I'll see you guys next video, and until then, I'm here to help you drink good whiskey. Cheers
