1792 Full Proof Bourbon

Description

1792 Full Proof Bourbon is a bold and robust bourbon produced by the Barton 1792 Distillery, which is owned by the Sazerac Company. This bourbon is known for its high proof and rich flavor profile. Here are some key details:

Description
Proof: Bottled at 125 proof (62.5% ABV), which is the same proof it had when the barrels were first filled.
Mash Bill: While the exact mash bill isn’t disclosed, it is known to contain at least 15% rye, making it a high-rye bourbon.
Aging: Typically aged for around 7-8 years in virgin American white oak barrels.
Flavor Profile: It boasts a deep and smoky taste, balanced with sweet vanilla and caramel notes. The bourbon undergoes a distinct filtering process, forgoing the typical chill filtration and passing only through a plate and frame filter, which helps maintain its robust proof and bold flavor.
History
1792 Full Proof Bourbon was first released in May 2016 as a limited edition expression. It was created to offer a richer and more robust flavor profile compared to other bourbons2. The name “Full Proof” refers to the fact that it is bottled at its original barrel entry proof, which is a unique characteristic among bourbons.

This bourbon has received high praise, including being named the 2020 World Whisky of the Year by Jim Murray, a prominent whisky writer.
