Throwback to last weekend’s American Whiskey Show Sydney 2025. Held at one of the best locations, The Rocks Sydney with views to match. We gave a sneak preview of our upcoming new barrel pick - 1792 Full Proof Barrel Select. 125 Proof / 62.5% AVB 750ml - this is the 6th barrel select from 1792 we’ve done over the years. Everyone who tried this said two things. It’s got an incredible mouthfeel, super chewy and bold in flavours. And overwhelmingly big hints of cherry coming to the surface, paired with all the classic notes of caramels and vanilla you come to expect with this monster of a whiskey. Launching Thursday 28th August 2025.

Its been awhile between drinks, so we thought we’d start 2025 off with a doozy! A blend of straight bourbon whiskeys finished in toasted American oak & Barbados rum casks. Selected by the WHA crew, at BCS HQ in Kentucky.
​
Different mashbills were aged in both toasted American oak barrels and Barbados rum casks. The toasted oak brings notes of dark chocolate, cherry and caramel, while the rum casks bring notes of tropical fruit and nuttiness. The complementary balance created through the blending of bourbons finished in these casks creates an elegant blend matched only by its complexity.​​

BONUS GIFT: Each order comes with a 100ml mini!

Producer: Barrell Craft Spirits, Kentucky USA
ABV 59.2%
Selected 04-04-24
Derived Mashbill 74% Corn, 22% Rye, 4% Malted Barley
Bottles 90 / 750ml​​

Nose
Starts with a surge of caramel latte, orange pound cake and cherry then transforms to lemon zest, butter cream, flan, and white chocolate. Then honey, dates, and cloves appear followed by a resurgence of orange and cherry.
​
Palate
Caramel covered cashews, chili-spiced pineapples, and banana chips hit the palate first, then a richness leads to caramelized plantains, dark chocolate, and flan. Followed by hints of coconut, cherry, spearmint, barbeque, and chiles.

Finish
Cherry, spices, dark chocolate.
