1792 Bourbon is produced at the Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, a historic site considered one of the pillars of America’s bourbon heritage. The name commemorates the year Kentucky achieved statehood, a nod to the state’s central role in shaping the identity of bourbon whiskey. The distillery sits on nearly 200 acres and includes natural springs, traditional warehouses, and one of the longest continuously operating stillhouses in the region.

Owned by the Sazerac Company, 1792 is crafted with an emphasis on small-batch production and attention to detail. The mash bill leans heavily on corn with a higher-than-usual proportion of rye, which contributes to the brand’s bold character. Distillation takes place in copper stills before the spirit is aged in new, charred American oak barrels. The natural climate of Bardstown, with its hot summers and cold winters, drives deep interaction between wood and spirit, shaping complexity and structure.

The brand releases a range of expressions, from the flagship Small Batch to limited editions highlighting specific techniques or aging conditions. Each bottle reflects the heritage of Kentucky bourbon-making while showcasing Barton 1792’s focus on craftsmanship, quality, and authenticity.
