Description

Barton 1792 Single Barrel Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Distillery Bottled
750 ml / Kentucky, USA / 49.3% ABV

"Ripe fruit (peach, apricot, golden raisin) on the front of the palate, followed by layered sweet notes of caramel, butterscotch, and toffee, finishing with oak, dried vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon. Great mouthfeel. Each barrel is unique in flavor profile. There’s no barrel number identified on the label, so the one you buy may vary slightly. Having said this, the barrel I reviewed was very enjoyable. 87/100" -Whisky Advocate

Barton 1792 Bottled In Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Distillery Bottled
750 ml / Kentucky, USA / 50% ABV

"While this offers no age statement, it revels in the renewed respect for bottled in bond whiskey which assures us it is at least 4 years old, 100 proof, from one distillery, and one distilling season. This new appreciation is for good reason. Toasted oak, chocolate-covered banana, vanilla, and apple meet hints of coffee and cinnamon on the nose. The high-rye recipe delivers the requisite cracked pepper and baking spices on the caramel-laden palate laced with licorice. This widely available bourbon seems to dwell in the age sweet spot, is nicely balanced with oak, and comes at a price that leaves little cause for hesitation. Number 9 in the 2018 Top 20. 92/100" -Whisky Advocate

Barton 1792 Sweet Wheat Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Distillery Bottled
750 ml / Kentucky, USA / 45.6% ABV

"Barton 1792 distillery’s first-ever wheated bourbon, where the wheat replaces rye as the ‘spice’ ingredient (similar to Weller and Maker’s Mark). A sweet and fruity whiskey, with vanilla wafer, cotton candy, caramel custard, blackberry, and ripe peach. Soft oak spice and polished leather on the finish keep the sweetness in check. Very gentle in personality; a great starter bourbon. 88/100" -Whisky Advocate
