By bottling at full proof, the whiskey retains its full character from barrel to bottle, allowing enthusiasts to experience the concentrated flavors and structure that make it a multiple award-winning bourbon.

1792 Full Proof Bourbon is an intense and bold expression that showcases the whiskey in its purest form, bottled at barrel strength without dilution. It opens with concentrated notes of caramel, toffee, and vanilla layered over a deep core of oak and char. Rich tones of dark chocolate, baking spice, and a touch of black pepper bring depth, while hints of dried fruit and roasted nuts emerge with time in the glass. On the palate, it is powerful and full-bodied, carrying a long, warming finish that balances sweetness, spice, and robust oak character.
This bourbon calls for dishes that can stand up to its strength. As a Starter, smoked meats, charred sausages, or even spiced nuts set the stage. For the Main Course, it pairs beautifully with slow-cooked brisket, barbecued ribs, grilled ribeye, or venison—meals where rich, smoky flavors complement the bourbon’s boldness. In the Cheese course, it works best with aged gouda, sharp cheddar, or smoked blue cheese, offering a balance of power and creaminess. For Dessert, it finds harmony with pecan pie, dark chocolate truffles, or bread pudding drizzled with bourbon sauce, amplifying its caramel and spice notes.

1792

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.
