That 15% rye proportion sits noticeably above the industry average for bourbon, contributing the bold spice that defines the brand's house character. Select barrels are chosen by the Master Distiller for each small batch release, a process that historically drew from the distillery's famed Warehouse Z among its 29 aging warehouses.

Now owned by Sazerac Company, the distillery produces 1792 Bottled in Bond using a high-rye mashbill (approximately 74–75% corn, 15–18% rye, and 8–10% malt), which delivers a notably spicier profile than many standard bourbons. As a Bottled-in-Bond product, it meets the strict requirements of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897: distilled during a single distillation season, aged a minimum of four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. The barrels selected for this expression are more carefully curated than standard releases, as the single-season requirement narrows the selection pool and demands consistency from a tighter range of barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rye spice leads immediately, followed by layers of vanilla and caramel.

The high-rye mashbill — 15% rye compared to the more common 8-10% in standard bourbon recipes — is the engine behind its signature spice and dry finish. Aging in Warehouse Z at the historic Barton 1792 Distillery adds another layer of distinction, as warehouse placement directly influences the temperature swings and maturation curve of each barrel. The result is a bourbon with genuine complexity and character that has earned recognition alongside expressions costing several times more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1792","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46537890234537,"sku":"41560","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/1792SmallBatch1.75L_77fe9bd3-20a9-4393-a26d-60cdd51e0fef.webp?v=1762652136"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/1792.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
