Aged 12 Years Bourbon 750ml

Bottle size

After aging for 12 years, this bourbon is brought to proof with iron-free, Kentucky limestone water — the same water used by Moore over a century ago when crafting his own whiskey. After distillation, the bourbon is aged in new, American oak casks in Warehouse Z on the distillery's estate in Bardstown, Kentucky. Warehouse Z is situated on the edge of a bluff and as a result, enjoys the intense heat and humidity that are ideal for maturing whiskey. "When it comes to barrel aging," says Ken Pierce, Barton 1792's master distiller, "it's just like real estate — location, location, location. That's why 1792 ages in Warehouse Z up there on the bluff." In addition, during the maturation process, Pierce samples each cask of bourbon as it rests to determine when the bourbon has reached its peak of maturity. "Quality in, quality out," says Pierce, who has over two decades of experience at the distillery. Once the bourbon has matured for a minimum of 12 years, it is brought to proof with water drawn from the Tom Moore spring. The iron-free, Kentucky limestone water — the same water used by Moore over a century ago when crafting his own whiskey — adds a subtle touch of complexity and depth to the bourbon. Bottled at 96.6 proof.…

About the brand

Decorated and distinguished, 1792 is more than just bourbon. Distilled by Barton 1792 Distillery, the brand is named after the year that Kentucky was formally announced as a state, personifying this history and heritage and bottling it with one of the most decadent and beautifully appointed bourbon whiskeys to ever come out of Kentucky. A cousin to the top-shelf Buffalo Trace varieties, 1792 is a decorated and widely renowned bourbon that possesses cult-like popularity amongst collectors and connoisseurs, most notably for its elegant and sensationally smooth 'Sweet Wheat' iteration. With a full collection that spans from a 12-year-old to a single-barrel and all things in between, if your collection doesn't include at least one of these coveted bottles, then most would say it isn't complete.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Traditional bourbon notes of vanilla and caramel are plentiful, with toffee and honey providing an additional layer of sweetness. Oak is also present, but gentle in its assertiveness. Overall mild in complexity and intensity, the nose is quite enjoyable, but plays it safe.

Taste

Walnut, toasted oak, and rye spice produce a bold front to the flavor profile. Much of the sweetness the nose hinted at has disappeared on the palate. Almost immediately you can feel the dryness of the bourbon hit your tongue. Without much sweetness to help balance this, the bourbon is a bit one-sided and certainly doesn’t hide its age.

Finish

Quite dry, with ample amounts of oak and bitter tannins throughout the medium length finish. Mild caramel and nutty notes come forth, but are devoid of any sweetness. It has some heat that ramps up in the finish, further amplifying its oakiness which leaves a rather dry aftertaste.
