1792 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, USA
1792 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, USA
A Bourbon-y Bourbon — all the classic notes made more prominent with twelve years of age and pitch-perfect ABV.
The Barton 1792 Distillery has been in operation since 1874. It gets the name “1792” from the year the Kentucky became an official state in the United States of America, and it’s also the name of one of the their signature single barrel Bourbon Whiskies. The Barton 1792 Distillery and Barton Brands are owned by Sazerac — one of America’s largest Spirits companies. They control dozens of brands from low end to high end — mostly American Whiskies and Bourbons — that are distributed around the world. The 1792 line of products are all premium, high-end Bourbons.
1792 12 Year Old is a limited edition Bourbon offering from Barton — it was officially announced on June 27th, 2019. Master Distiller Danny Kahn seems particularly proud of this release that follows the same mash bill as their core small batch offering. But it is aged a full twelve years — a very pleasant number indeed — and it bottled at 48.3% ABV which will get the job done whether you are sipping it neat or mixing up a cocktail. And it is available at a great price point for a twelve year-old dram, so we say you should get a few of them while they last.
