1792 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Sazerac Company · Barton 1792 Distillery, Bardstown, Kentucky
1792 Small Batch is a bourbon that punches well above its price point. The high-rye mash bill gives it a spice-forward character that balances beautifully against the caramel sweetness, and at 93.7 proof it delivers flavor without overwhelming heat. The Barton 1792 Distillery, which has been producing spirits in Bardstown since 1879, brings a quiet consistency to this bottle — heritage you can taste in every sip.
