1792 Single Barrel

About the 1792 Single Barrel

1792 Single Barrel is a Kentucky straight bourbon from the United States. It is made at the Barton 1792 distillery in Bardstown, in the United States. The distillery sits in the heart of bourbon country, drawing on the historic Tom Moore Spring. The name 1792 marks the year Kentucky became a state. Barton 1792 has distilled here since 1879. That makes it the oldest fully working distillery in Bardstown. The long history shows in the spirit. Every bottle of 1792 Single Barrel comes from one hand-selected cask. Each batch carries its own quiet differences. This single-cask method is what sets the bourbon apart. Big bottlings blend many barrels for a steady house style. A single barrel skips that step. Bottling one cask at a time means each release has its own personality. Collectors enjoy comparing barrels for these small shifts in flavour. What you taste is the work of one barrel and its years in new charred oak. On the palate, sweet vanilla leads the way. Ripe banana and bright fresh fruit follow close behind. Then the bourbon turns drier, with leather and warm baking spice. A woody, oak-driven backbone holds it together through a long finish. Bottled at 49.3% ABV, 1792 Single Barrel has weight without losing its balance. It is a bourbon built for unhurried evenings. Drink it neat and give it a few minutes in the glass. The sweetness, the spice and the leather each step forward in turn. For anyone exploring American bourbon, this 1792 expression is a fine place to linger.
