1792 Single Barrel Bourbon, Cask #289, 2025, 49.3%

The caramel and toffee give this Kentucky bourbon a clear sweet direction, while baking spice brings a useful counterpoint. The warm, oak-led finish sounds like a natural continuation rather than a sharp change in character. The palate is described as delicately balanced, which suits the combination of sweetness and spice. It sounds focused and appealing, with enough oak to keep the sweeter notes from dominating.
