1792 Full Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey – 125 Proof (62.5% ABV) | 750ml

Powerful, richly layered, and award-winning, 1792 Full Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a bold expression that delivers bourbon in its purest form. Bottled at 62.5% ABV (125 proof) in a 750ml bottle, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon is bottled at the same proof it entered the barrel, preserving its full intensity while showcasing remarkable balance, richness, and complexity.

Process & Aging

Produced at the historic Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, 1792 Full Proof is crafted using the distillery's signature high-rye mash bill and aged in new charred American oak barrels. Unlike barrel proof bourbons, which are bottled at whatever proof they exit the barrel, 1792 Full Proof is bottled at the original barrel entry proof of 125 proof, creating a unique balance of concentration and drinkability.

This meticulous process results in a bourbon that delivers bold flavor while maintaining exceptional smoothness and structure.

Appearance

Deep amber with brilliant copper highlights, displaying exceptional richness and viscosity.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich aromas of caramel, vanilla bean, toasted oak, dark cherry, cinnamon, and baking spices are complemented by hints of leather and roasted nuts.

Palate: Full-bodied and intensely flavorful with layers of brown sugar, butterscotch, dark caramel, vanilla, black pepper, toasted oak, cocoa, and ripe stone fruit balanced by a creamy mouthfeel.

What Makes It Special

1792 Full Proof has earned widespread acclaim for delivering exceptional flavor while maintaining remarkable balance despite its high proof. Unlike many cask-strength bourbons, it is bottled at the same proof the whiskey entered the barrel (125 proof) rather than the proof at which it exited, creating a unique and consistent drinking experience.

Its combination of a high-rye mash bill, bold proof, and expert barrel selection earned 1792 Full Proof the title of "World's Best Bourbon" at the 2020 World Whiskies Awards, cementing its reputation as one of Kentucky's premier bourbon expressions.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its full-bodied character, or with a few drops of water to unlock additional layers of caramel, vanilla, and spice. It also creates an exceptionally rich and flavorful Old Fashioned.
