🥃🥃 Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Deep amber with rich copper and mahogany highlights, displaying the substantial color and concentration expected from extended maturation in new charred American oak.
Aroma:
Powerful and concentrated, with sweet vanilla and caramel rising alongside toasted oak and barrel char. As the whiskey opens, brown sugar, dark fruit, baking spice, and subtle smoky notes add further depth.
Palate:
Bold, rich, and unapologetically full-flavored:
Caramel creates a deep foundation of bourbon sweetness
Vanilla adds richness and balance
Rye spice introduces cinnamon, pepper, and baking-spice intensity
Dark fruit adds depth through the mid-palate
Toasted oak contributes substantial barrel character
Smoky notes provide additional complexity
Brown sugar and caramelized sweetness balance the whiskey's spice
125 Proof creates an exceptionally rich and substantial mouthfeel
A few drops of water can reveal additional sweetness and soften the barrel-strength intensity
Finish:
Long, powerful, and warming, with lingering caramel, vanilla, rye spice, smoky oak, and barrel char gradually developing into a pleasantly dry finish. With its 125 Proof bottling, minimum seven-year maturation, rye-recipe character, and non-traditional filtration approach, 1792 Full Proof is a commanding expression of Barton 1792's bold Kentucky bourbon style.
Description
1792 Full Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750mL) — Bold 125 Proof Bourbon Bottled at Its Original Barrel Entry Proof
Experience the powerful side of Kentucky bourbon with 1792 Full Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a bold and intensely flavorful expression from the historic Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. Created for bourbon enthusiasts seeking greater concentration and barrel character, Full Proof is bottled at an impressive 125 Proof (62.5% ABV)—the same proof at which the whiskey originally entered its new charred American oak barrels.
Rather than undergoing traditional chill filtration, 1792 Full Proof is passed through a plate-and-frame filter, helping preserve the whiskey's rich texture and robust flavor. Built around 1792's signature rye-recipe bourbon style, it balances substantial spice and smoky oak with layers of sweet vanilla, caramel, dark fruit, and toasted barrel character. Powerful yet remarkably balanced for its proof, this is a serious Kentucky bourbon designed for enthusiasts who appreciate whiskey with intensity, structure, and a long, warming finish.
