Bottled in Bond is the 1792 that follows the oldest rule in bourbon. The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 was America’s first consumer protection law, and it still means exactly what it did then: the product of one distillery, one distiller, and one distilling season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at precisely 100 proof. 1792’s version comes from the Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky — the oldest operating distillery in the town, running since 1879 and now part of Sazerac — made from the house high-rye mash bill of roughly 75% corn, 15% rye, and 10% malted barley. The 100-proof bottling sits neatly between the Small Batch’s 93.7 and the Single Barrel’s 98.6, and the bonded guarantee means what’s in the bottle is a single season’s whiskey, not a blend across years. Expect caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak on the nose with the rye spice 1792 is known for, opening into a rounded, full palate of butterscotch, baking spice, dried fruit, and cinnamon with more body than the Small Batch, finishing long and warm with a peppery close. Honest note: Barton’s 1792 extensions have historically been released sporadically, and this one can be harder to find than the flagship. For the drinker who wants an honest, unfussy, 100-proof Kentucky bourbon at a fair price — for an Old Fashioned, a Manhattan, or neat — it’s one of the better values the distillery makes.
