1792 Small Batch is the cornerstone of the Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. As the flagship expression of the house, it serves as the high-rye foundation from which all other limited releases—including the Full Proof and Twelve Year—are built.

Warehouse Z & Heritage

Aged in the upper floors of the iconic Warehouse Z, this bourbon benefits from accelerated oak interaction driven by intense temperature variations. This defines the "brash yet balanced" character of the 1792 profile.

  • The 93.7 Proof: A deliberate strength chosen to balance the high-rye spice with the creamy vanilla notes of the Barton mash bill.
  • Evolution: Originally known as Ridgemont Reserve, the brand matured from an 8-year statement into this expertly blended NAS small-batch flagship.
  • Maturity: Batches are meticulously selected from a pool of 4 to 8-year-old barrels to preserve the signature "rye fizz" and citrus depth.
Sensory Profile

Nose: Bold caramel, vanilla, and prominent rye spice. Nuanced notes of cherry and orange peel develop with time in the glass.

Palate: Medium-bodied and expressive. Banana bread, milk chocolate, and black pepper lead into a mid-palate cooled by a hint of mint.

Finish: Medium length and clean. Lingering notes of baked fruit, tobacco leaf, and a refined dry oak resonance.

The High-Rye Benchmark

Positioned as the base reference point for all Barton production, 1792 Small Batch competes directly with Four Roses and Bulleit. It is distinguished by a more assertive, structural high-rye character that holds its own against higher-proof competitors.

"A structural profile that highlights the craftsmanship of Warehouse Z."

Recommended Serving

Extremely versatile across formats. It drinks exceptionally well neat or over a single large clear cube to accentuate the milk chocolate notes. Its rye-forward profile also carries cocktails with precision, making it a preferred choice for a structured Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
