1792 Aged 12 Years Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Rich Heritage. Refined Character. Aged to Perfection.
This limited edition release of 1792 Aged 12 Years Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a masterclass in long-aged elegance from the heart of Bardstown, Kentucky. Distilled by Barton 1792 Distillery, this small batch bourbon spent over a decade resting in new charred oak barrels, developing remarkable depth, smoothness, and complexity.
Bottled at 96.6 proof, the nose opens with toasted oak, dried figs, warm vanilla, and antique leather. On the palate, expect luxurious layers of dark toffee, rich cherry, cinnamon bark, and cocoa-dusted almonds. The finish lingers with a soft smoky edge, baking spice, and a touch of worn saddle leather.
Why It’s Exceptional:
- 12 Years Aged: Rare extended maturation yields bold yet refined character
- • Kentucky Classic: From the historic Barton 1792 Distillery, where craftsmanship meets time
- • Limited Release: Highly allocated and sought-after by serious bourbon collectors
- • Rich & Sippable: Balanced at 96.6 proof for complexity without overwhelming heat
