1792 Aged 12 Years Bourbon Whiskey

Kentucky Straight Bourbon | 48.3% ABV | 96.6 Proof | 750mL | 12 Year Age Statement | Limited Edition

Process & Profile

1792 Aged 12 Years Bourbon Whiskey is a limited-edition release produced at Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. It begins with the brand’s signature high-rye bourbon recipe, creating a balance of corn sweetness, rye-driven spice, and mature oak character.

The bourbon is aged for 12 years in new, charred American white oak barrels. This extended maturation allows the whiskey to develop a full-bodied profile with concentrated vanilla, cocoa, delicate fruit, and seasoned oak.

Bottled at 96.6 proof, 1792 Aged 12 Years offers enough strength to carry its mature flavors while remaining approachable as a neat pour. The extended age adds depth and structure without losing the sweeter vanilla and fruit notes associated with the 1792 Bourbon profile.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich vanilla, cocoa, delicate fruit, caramelized oak, and warm baking spice

Palate: Vanilla, dark cocoa, ripe fruit, caramel, peppery rye spice, and mature charred oak

Finish: Long and gently smoky with lingering cocoa, oak, vanilla, and spice

What Makes It Special

1792 Aged 12 Years stands apart through its combination of extended maturation and the brand’s signature high-rye bourbon recipe. Twelve years in charred American white oak gives the bourbon greater oak depth, cocoa richness, and complexity than younger expressions in the 1792 collection.

The rye content adds spice and structure, helping balance the sweeter notes of vanilla, caramel, and fruit developed during maturation. Bottling the whiskey at 96.6 proof provides a fuller flavor than many lower-proof aged bourbons without overwhelming its more delicate characteristics.

As a limited-edition expression, 1792 Aged 12 Years offers bourbon drinkers an older and more oak-forward interpretation of the Barton 1792 house style.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy 1792 Aged 12 Years Bourbon Whiskey neat in a whiskey or tulip-shaped glass to experience its full vanilla, cocoa, fruit, spice, and oak profile. Allowing the bourbon to rest for several minutes can help open its sweeter aromas and soften the influence of the mature oak.

A few drops of water may reveal additional caramel, fruit, and baking-spice notes. It can also be served over one large ice cube for a cooler pour with a gradually softer character.

Because of its 12-year age statement and limited availability, this bourbon is best suited to slow sipping rather than heavily mixed cocktails.
