1792 is distilled at the Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. Established in 1879, it stands as the oldest fully operational distillery in the town, sprawling across 196 acres with 29 warehouses and 22 other buildings.
Sazerac acquired the distillery and brand in 2009, adding it to a portfolio that includes esteemed names like Buffalo Trace, Pappy Van Winkle, and George T. Stagg.
Originally named Ridgewood Reserve 1792, the bourbon pays homage to the year Kentucky became a state. A conflict with the 'Woodford Reserve' brand led to a name change, eventually shortening to just 1792.
This whiskey has garnered significant acclaim in recent years, with its 'velvet glove' house style winning over drinkers and competition judges alike.
While the mash-bill for these whiskies remains undisclosed, it's often described as "high rye," with the rye content estimated to be between 15% and 25%. Some sources suggest 18% rye, 74% corn, and 8% barley, though these figures are unconfirmed.
