The Liter of High-Rye Kentucky
Named for the year Kentucky joined the Union, 1792 is Barton 1792 Distillery's signature — and the Small Batch is its flag-bearer. The recipe is high-rye, which gives the bourbon its unmistakable brash-and-bold spice, and every barrel in the marriage is aged only on the top floors of the warehouses, where the heat drives the deepest oak interaction, and removed only at peak maturity. At 93.7 proof it lands in the sweet spot: bold enough for the neat sipper, smooth enough for the highball, and in the 1-liter format it becomes the home bar's workhorse — more of the good stuff per bottle.
Tasting Notes
Nose: classic bourbon — smooth vanilla, sweet caramel, and deep oak layered with baking spice and a hint of citrus zest. Palate: full-bodied — bold rye spice mingles with dark fruit, sweet caramel, brown sugar, and vanilla; black pepper and orange peel on the edges. Finish: long and lingering, with hints of cocoa, drying cinnamon, and balanced oak.
How to Enjoy
Neat for the spice, on the rocks for the evening, or in an Old Fashioned where the high-rye backbone stands up to bitters beautifully. The 1-liter bottle is built for people who go through bourbon — keep it stocked.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a high-rye bourbon? A bourbon whose mash bill includes a higher proportion of rye than standard — spicier, bolder, and more structured, with pepper and baking-spice character.
What does "top floors" aging mean? Barrels stored on the upper warehouse floors experience greater heat and temperature swing, driving deeper, faster oak interaction — Barton selects only these for the Small Batch.
Why 93.7 proof? It is the brand's signature bottling strength — bold and full-flavored without tipping into cask-strength territory.
