1856 Small Batch is a spicy, toasty, and full-bodied bourbon. Highly aromatic, the nose is teeming with orange peel and burnt oak, which carry on to the palate. A mash bill of 84% corn gives this bourbon a pronounced palate of burnt brown sugar and caramel, which are met with notes of cereal and spicy ginger. At 100 proof, the finish packs a spicy punch, but mellows with a lingering sweetness
