This 1792 Full Proof is a single barrel select of the high-rye Kentucky straight bourbon from Barton 1792 Distillery, bottled at its original barrel entry proof of 125 (62.5% ABV).
1792 Full Proof is bottled at the same proof at which it entered the barrel, preserving a bold, undiluted character. As a single barrel select, this bottle comes from one barrel hand-selected for its unique flavor profile.
The barrel was picked for its caramel and vanilla notes with a sweet dried cherry flavor. The high-rye recipe adds spice beneath that sweetness, and the full proof gives it a rich, mouth-coating weight.
It is a strong gift for fans of big, barrel-proof bourbon.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown is one of Kentucky's oldest operating distilleries.
High-rye bourbons carry more peppery spice, which pairs well with the caramel of new charred oak.
At 125 proof, a few drops of water open the aromas and soften the heat.
A splash of water or a large ice cube is the best way to explore a barrel-proof bourbon.
Every single barrel is a little different, which makes each bottle a distinct experience.
