1792 Full Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an exceptionally distinctive expression — bottled at its original 125 barrel entry proof (62.5% ABV), just as it was when the barrels were first filled. Strong, full-bodied, and rich in character, it forgoes the typical chill filtration process, passing only through a plate and frame filter to preserve its robust proof and full, bold flavour. Sweet vanilla and caramel are balanced by an incredible depth and smoky character that sets 1792 Full Proof apart from the crowd.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep, rich amber — the concentrated colour of a full-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon, with the depth and intensity that barrel-strength bottling and careful maturation at the Barton 1792 Distillery deliver.
Aroma
Bold and characterful — sweet vanilla and caramel lead, with an undercurrent of smoky depth and warm oak spice. The unmistakable nose of a full-proof bourbon bottled at barrel entry strength, with nothing held back.
Palate
Rich, full-bodied, and deeply satisfying — sweet vanilla and caramel with a bold smoky character and the warmth of 125 proof that builds through the palate. Unfiltered in character, complex in delivery, and genuinely distinctive from first sip to finish.
Pairs With
1792 Full Proof pairs superbly with smoked brisket, aged cheddar, dark chocolate, and pecan pie, and is best appreciated neat or with a few drops of water to open the layers — a full-proof bourbon that rewards patience and attention.
