Description
1792 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from a mash of corn, rye and malted barley. While the use of corn in the bourbon’s recipe adds classic notes of buttered bread, biscuits and roasted nuts, the heavy use of rye in the bourbon’s mashbill yields a more complex and full-bodied whiskey.After distillation, the bourbon is aged in new, American oak casks for a minimum of eight years in Warehouse Z on the distillery’s estate in Bardstown, Kentucky. Warehouse Z is situated on the edge of a bluff and as a result, enjoys the intense heat and humidity that are ideal for maturing whiskey. “When it comes to barrel aging,” says Ken Pierce, Barton 1792’s master distiller, “it’s just like real estate location, location, location. That’s why 1792 ages in Warehouse Z up there on the bluff.” In addition, during the maturation process, Pierce samples each cask of bourbon as it rests to determine when the bourbon has reached its peak of maturity. “Quality in, quality out,” says Pierce, who has over two decades of experience at the distillery.1792 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, is named after the year that Kentucky achieved statehood in the United States. This full proof bourbon is bottled at its original 125 entry proof, just as it was years ago when the barrels were first filled. This exceptionally distinct full proof bourbon earned a Silver medal at the 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and 93 points at the 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.Pick up your bottle today!
