1792 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from a mash of corn, rye and malted barley. While the use of corn in the bourbon’s recipe adds classic notes of buttered bread, biscuits and roasted nuts, the heavy use of rye in the bourbon’s mash bill yields a more complex and full-bodied whiskey.
After distillation, the bourbon is aged in new, American oak casks in Warehouse Z on the distillery’s estate in Bardstown, Kentucky. 12 years kentucky straight bourbon

That’s why 1792 ages in Warehouse Z up there on the bluff.” In addition, during the maturation process, Pierce samples each cask of bourbon as it rests to determine when the bourbon has reached its peak of maturity. “Quality in, quality out,” says Pierce, who has over two decades of experience at the distillery. years kentucky straight bourbon whiskey
