1792 Aged 12 Years: Refined, Traditional, and Unmistakably Kentucky The Barton 1792 Distillery has been producing bourbon in Bardstown, Kentucky since 1874. Named for the year Kentucky became a state, 1792 embodies the heritage and craftsmanship that define classic American whiskey. Today, the distillery operates under Sazerac — the same family that owns Buffalo Trace — and continues to deliver premium, high-character bourbons known for their balance of richness and spice. Originally released in 2019, 1792 Aged 12 Years marked a welcome return to true age-stated bourbon. Using the same mash bill as the distillery’s flagship Small Batch, this expression spends twelve full years in new charred oak, emerging with deep caramel and oak notes layered with dried fruit, toffee, and gentle baking spice. Bottled at 48.3% ABV, it strikes the perfect balance between approachability and intensity. In an era where 12-year bourbons are increasingly rare, this bottle feels like a quiet triumph — traditional, grounded, and proudly Kentucky.
