1792 Aged Twelve Years

1792 Aged Twelve Years is the extended-age expression in the 1792 lineup — a high-rye Kentucky Straight Bourbon from the Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, matured a full twelve years for layered caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak with the spice the high-rye mash bill delivers.

The 1792 name references the year Kentucky achieved statehood. The brand’s high-rye mash bill gives it a bolder, spicier backbone than wheated or standard-rye bourbons, and at twelve years the extended oak maturation adds depth and complexity that the younger expressions in the range don’t reach. Rich and refined, it sips well neat or over a large cube.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes 1792 Aged Twelve Years different from standard 1792?

It carries a 12-year age statement — significantly longer than the standard 1792 Small Batch — producing deeper oak integration, more dried-fruit complexity, and a richer body while keeping the high-rye spice that defines the brand.
