1792 Small Batch (70cl, 47%)

Get to know: 1792 Small Batch (70cl, 47%)

A spicy, high-rye Kentucky bourbon whiskey, bottled in small batches at 47%.

Tasting Note

Spice, oak and caramel make up the nose. On the palate there's baked blueberry, with black pepper running underneath. The rye gives it a lively edge, and the caramel keeps things warm and rounded.

Serving suggestions:

• Over ice with a slice of orange
• In a Manhattan with sweet vermouth and a cherry
• In a Whiskey Sour with fresh lemon juice

Kate Says

"I'd put this one in a Manhattan. It's marketed as a high-rye bourbon, so there's a peppery kick that stands up well to sweet vermouth. Make one for a friend and see what they think."
