🎄 Day 23 of the Minnesota Whiskey Elite Advent Calendar brought holiday cheer and a warm, cinnamon-spiced pour to The Whisky Friends—Michael, Iggy, Doc, and Ken—as they edged closer to Christmas. 🥃

The nose gave off spicy and sweet aromas, immediately capturing the group’s attention. The palate followed through with cinnamon heat, a sweet front, and a lingering warmth—earning comparisons to a honey barrel or a cinnamon-forward pick. The long finish left a pleasant "hug," perfect for the chilly December air.

The big reveal? 1792 Full Proof, a Minnesota Whiskey Elite pick with a bold, satisfying profile. The crew debated its characteristics, with one sip sparking memories of past barrels and cinnamon-driven notes from other distilleries. At under $80, this pour earned high praise as a solid holiday treat.

As the advent journey nears its conclusion, this pick stands out as both festive and dangerously drinkable. Cheers to the crew’s sharp-tasting notes, good laughs, and another evening of whiskey camaraderie!
