1792 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Overview
JIM MURRAY'S WHISKY BIBLE, 92.5 RATING
1792 Small Batch is a high-rye Kentucky bourbon that punches well above its price tag. Named after the year Kentucky became a state, it's been a quiet favourite among bourbon drinkers in the know for years. The extra rye in the mash bill gives it more spice than your average bourbon, while the higher 93.7 proof keeps the flavour full without being harsh.
Caramel, vanilla, and a proper hit of rye spice with a clean, warming finish. A solid step up from your usual shelf bottle and the kind of pour that holds its own neat or in a serious Old Fashioned.

What Sets This Bottle Apart
- High-rye mash bill, so it's got a spicier kick than most standard bourbons
- Bottled at 93.7 proof, a step above the usual entry-level pour
- Made at Barton 1792, one of the oldest fully operating distilleries in Kentucky
- Named after 1792, the year Kentucky became a state
- Real depth and character without the price tag of bigger names

Provenance
Barton 1792 Distillery sits in Bardstown, Kentucky, right in the heart of bourbon country. It's one of the oldest fully operating distilleries in the state, with whiskey making roots on the same site going back well over a century. The distillery is now part of the Sazerac family.
1792 Small Batch is the flagship of the 1792 range. The bottle was originally launched as Ridgemont Reserve 1792 before being rebranded simply as 1792. The number is a nod to the year Kentucky joined the Union, and the whole range plays on that bit of history.
Who This Bottle Is For
- Bourbon drinkers ready to upgrade from the usual go-to bottle
- Anyone who likes a bit more spice and rye character in their bourbon
- Old Fashioned and cocktail fans after a bourbon with proper backbone
- Newer drinkers wanting a solid bourbon to learn the style with
- Drinkers after great value from a real Kentucky distillery
Tasting Notes
Nose
Caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak with a touch of rye spice and dried fruit.
Palate
Sweet caramel and vanilla up front, followed by a clean hit of rye spice, oak, and a hint of pepper. The higher proof gives it weight without being heavy.
Finish
Medium to long. Warming spice and oak fade slowly with a clean, dry close.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat to start. The extra rye gives it some life, and the higher proof means a splash of water or a single rock works well without losing the flavour. It also makes one of the better Old Fashioneds you'll have at home. Easy bourbon, no overthinking required.
Why We Curate It at Bourbon Brothers
1792 Small Batch is one of those bottles that quietly outperforms its price. Real flavour, a bit of edge from the rye, and proper depth from a serious Kentucky distillery. A solid step up from your usual shelf bottle and a bloody good pour for the price. One worth having on hand.
