The bottle that put 1792 on the world stage: big, rich and bottled at the same proof it went into the barrel.
What it is
1792 Full Proof is a Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 125 proof (62.5% ABV) in a 750 ml bottle. It is the most intense expression in the 1792 lineup.
Where and how it's made
- Distilled and aged at Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, the town's oldest fully operating distillery
- Bottled at its original barrel-entry proof of 125, with no water added to bring it down
- Skips chill filtration and passes only through a plate-and-frame filter to keep oils and texture
Tasting notes
- Nose: toasted oak, dark caramel and vanilla with a smoky edge
- Palate: thick and oily, with brown sugar, toffee, cinnamon and dried fruit
- Finish: long and hot, fading to charred oak, leather and sweet spice
Serving and pairing
Add a splash of water or a large ice cube to unlock the sweetness, or use it to give a stirred cocktail extra backbone. Pairs with grilled ribeye, smoked meats or crème brûlée.
