Produced at the historic Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, this small batch bourbon is crafted using a high-rye mash bill that adds a distinctive peppery edge to the classic bourbon sweetness. The whiskey is aged for a minimum of eight years in new charred oak barrels, allowing the spirit to develop depth and character while maintaining balance. Each batch is carefully selected to ensure consistency without sacrificing the individuality that comes from small-scale production.

Nose: Expect rich toffee, vanilla bean and dark fruit notes, with undertones of toasted oak and baking spices that hint at the complexity to come.

Palate: The mid-palate reveals layers of butterscotch, caramelised brown sugar and cinnamon, complemented by rye spice that adds structure and prevents the sweetness from dominating. A smooth, full mouthfeel carries flavours of dried cherry, nutmeg and a touch of leather.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering oak, black pepper and a gentle sweetness that fades gracefully without bitterness.
