1792 Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an award-winning bourbon from Barton 1792, the oldest fully operating distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, the heart of bourbon country. It is bottled at 98.6 proof (49.3% ABV).
It comes only from the finest barrels, selected and tasted from the best ageing warehouses, and bottled individually, one by one.
This distinctly different bourbon has flavours of rich butterscotch and caramel, delicately balanced with hints of fruit and toffee.
Enjoy it on the rocks, neat, or in your favourite whiskey cocktails, such as an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan.
The 1792 name honours the year Kentucky became a state. Single barrel bourbon is bottled from one barrel at a time rather than blended, so each bottle carries the particular character of its own cask, and Barton's high-rye 1792 recipe gives this one its gentle spice behind the caramel sweetness.
Barton 1792 has been making whiskey on its Bardstown site since 1879, and its warehouses sit on the rolling hills of Nelson County, where the seasons push the whiskey in and out of the oak. Selecting only the best barrels from the best warehouses for single barrel bottling is what sets this release apart from the distillery's Small Batch.
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.
