FAQs

What does 'Full Proof' mean?

'Full Proof' indicates that the bourbon is bottled at its original cask strength, meaning it has not been diluted with water before bottling. This results in a higher alcohol by volume (ABV).

What does 'no chill filtration' mean for this bourbon?

No chill filtration means that the bourbon was not subjected to a process that cools it down to precipitate out fatty acids and esters. This preserves these compounds, which contribute to a richer mouthfeel, fuller body, and potentially more complex flavor and aroma.

What is the typical ABV for 1792 Full Proof?

The ABV for 1792 Full Proof is typically around 125 proof, which translates to 62.5% alcohol by volume (ABV), though this can vary slightly with each batch.

How long is the 1792 Full Proof aged?

The exact aging period for 1792 Full Proof is not disclosed by the distillery.

Is this bourbon suitable for beginners?

While suitable for anyone of legal drinking age, the high proof and intense flavor profile might be best appreciated by those who have some experience with stronger spirits or bolder bourbons. Beginners may prefer to start with a smaller pour and add water.

Can I age an opened bottle of 1792 Full Proof?

An opened bottle can be stored upright and will retain its quality for several months to a year. However, extensive aging of an opened bottle is generally not recommended as the flavor profile may change.

Troubleshooting

Flavor seems too intense or harsh.

Add a few drops of water or a single ice cube to the pour. This can help to mellow the alcohol and open up the more delicate flavor notes.

Difficulty finding the product.

Due to its popularity and limited release, availability can vary. Check with reputable liquor stores, specialty bourbon retailers, or online distributors. It may require patience and persistence.
