1792 Single Barrel

The Unfiltered Artistry of the Single Barrel

1792 Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey represents the pure, unfiltered expression of the Barton 1792 Distillery’s aging program. While the Small Batch expression is crafted for harmonious consistency, the Single Barrel is designed to celebrate the distinct personality of the individual cask. Our master distillers spend countless hours tasting through the oldest, most perfectly matured barrels in our inventory to identify those with the exceptional depth, character, and balance required to stand alone without the assistance of blending.

This process ensures that every bottle is a singular event. No two barrels are identical; due to subtle variations in the wood grain of the barrel, the exact placement of the cask within the rickhouse, and the specific way the Kentucky climate interacted with that individual volume of spirit, every bottle of 1792 Single Barrel offers a slightly different, nuanced tasting journey. This creates an immense appeal for the modern collector, who prizes the rarity and the “treasure hunt” aspect of finding unique barrel expressions.

Bottled at a precise 49.3% ABV (98.6 Proof)—a strength specifically chosen to provide a muscular, full-bodied experience without overwhelming the palate—it is housed in the signature 1792 curved flask bottle with elegant gold lettering. It is a high-authority asset that commands attention on any digital shelf, appealing directly to high-net-worth enthusiasts and dedicated bourbon connoisseurs who demand authentic, unadulterated, and high-quality whiskey.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Deep, rich, and intensely aromatic. Opens with prominent notes of toasted vanilla, dark molasses, and sweet brown sugar, beautifully layered with complex undertones of dried cherry, warm leather, and deep, seasoned barrel char.

• Palate: Full-bodied, robust, and velvety. A powerful entry of sweet caramel and honeyed corn is quickly complemented by mid-palate notes of spicy rye, black pepper, and toasted almond, before giving way to complex, lingering hints of dark chocolate.

• Finish: Long, warming, and sophisticated. It leaves a deep, resonant signature trail of sweet oak sugars, lingering fruit notes, and a final, smooth, and spicy kick of wood tannins.

Serving Suggestion:

A whiskey of this individual pedigree demands to be honored in the glass. Pour 1792 Single Barrel neat into a heavy crystal rocks glass or a thin-rimmed tasting glass. Because this expression is unblended, it is a fantastic “shape-shifter”—take a small sip neat to appreciate its raw intensity, then add a few drops of limestone water to watch the sweet barrel sugars and fruit esters explode and evolve across the palate. It is the perfect, meditative pour for the true bourbon purist.
