1792 Small Batch Bourbon 750ml

Distilled and bottled at the historic Barton 1792 Distillery — the oldest fully operating distillery in Bardstown — 1792 Small Batch is built on a high-rye mash bill, giving it more spice and structure than typical mid-shelf bourbons. Bottled at a robust 93.7 proof with no age statement, it shows a nose of vanilla, brandied cherry, and dry orange rind, moving into a spicier palate of pepper, clove, and toasted oak, with a dry, lingering finish. A longstanding favorite in the $30 range and a benchmark for what a well-made, higher-proof bourbon should deliver at this price point.
