1792 Small Batch

About the 1792 Small Batch

1792 Small Batch is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown. Bardstown calls itself the Bourbon Capital of the World, and the distillery sits right at its centre. The brand name honours 1792, the year Kentucky joined the Union as the fifteenth state. Barton 1792 Distillery is now part of the Sazerac portfolio and sits in Bardstown's historic distilling district. This small batch expression is the flagship bourbon in the 1792 lineup. The mash bill runs high in rye, which sets 1792 Small Batch apart from many other Kentucky bourbons. That rye content drives the spirit's bold, spicy character. For each batch, the Master Distiller carefully selects and marries individual barrels at peak maturity. No artificial colouring is added, so every hue in the glass comes directly from the oak casks. The result is a consistent, characterful small batch bourbon bottled at 46.85% ABV. On the nose, cinnamon and clove stand out, with ginger adding warmth underneath. The palate opens with caramel and brown sugar, rich and round, before the rye spice reasserts itself. Honey rounds out the sweetness, while molasses and milk chocolate add depth in the mid-palate. The finish is long and oaky, with a dry spice character that lingers well after the last sip. 1792 Small Batch drinks well neat at full strength. The slightly elevated ABV gives it presence in the glass without tipping into harshness. It is a reliable choice for bourbon drinkers who want bold character without paying a premium. Available as a widely distributed bourbon, 1792 Small Batch makes an ideal gift for whisky lovers. This bourbon suits everyday drinking as much as a considered pour from a serious collection.
