1792 Full Proof Bourbon

1792 Full Proof Bourbon is produced at Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky — bottled at 125 proof (62.5% ABV), the same proof the bourbon enters the barrel, meaning no dilution occurs between barrel entry and bottling. The 1792 brand name references the year Kentucky achieved statehood. Full Proof is the highest ABV expression in the 1792 lineup.

Bottling at barrel entry proof is a specific production decision: most bourbon is proofed down with water before bottling to reach standard commercial strengths of 80–100 proof. By not diluting, 1792 Full Proof preserves the full concentration of flavor compounds and the natural mouthfeel of the barrel. At 125 proof, adding a few drops of water before drinking opens the spirit significantly.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich and concentrated — dark fruit, caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla. Palate: Bold at 125 proof — brown sugar, dark fruit, cinnamon, and big oak. Finish: Long, warm, and complex.
