1792 Straight Bourbon Single Barrel Whiskey
1792 Straight Bourbon Single Barrel Whiskey
1792 Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon is the hand-selected, one-barrel-at-a-time release from the Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, the oldest operating distillery in the town. The 1792 mash bill is high-rye, which gives every bottle in the line a spicy backbone; the Single Barrel is chosen for barrels that show that character at its fullest and bottled at 98.6 proof.
Expect caramel, vanilla and toasted oak on the nose, then a bold palate of brown sugar, rye spice, black pepper and dark fruit, finishing long and warm with a lingering oak sweetness. Because each barrel is bottled on its own, no two releases are identical. It drinks well neat and holds up to a cube, and it makes a spicy, full-bodied Manhattan.
If you already pour 1792 Small Batch or Four Roses Single Barrel, this is the step up in intensity at a price that still works for a weeknight bottle.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
For the bourbon drinker who already knows what they like and wants something with more presence, this single barrel release makes a thoughtful gift. Each bottle comes from one hand-selected barrel at the Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, so the recipient is opening a pour no other release will match exactly. The high-rye mash bill gives it a spicy backbone, and at 98.6 proof it carries real weight: caramel, vanilla and toasted oak up front, then brown sugar, rye spice, black pepper and dark fruit, closing long and warm with lingering oak sweetness. It suits a promotion, a milestone birthday or Father's Day, especially for someone who enjoys 1792 Small Batch and would appreciate the step up in intensity. Encourage them to taste it neat first, add a splash of water or a single cube to open it up, and then try it in a Manhattan, where the rye spice keeps the drink full-bodied and lively.
Pairs well with
- Grilled ribeye steak — The toasted oak and black pepper notes echo a charred crust while the caramel sweetness balances the richness of the meat.
- Smoked meats with savory sauces — Its bold palate of brown sugar, rye spice and dark fruit stands up to smoke and rich, savory sauces without getting lost.
- Father's Day or promotion toast — A one-barrel bottle with a long, warm finish feels personal and celebratory for someone who appreciates a powerful, memorable bourbon.
Questions about this bottle
What does single barrel mean for this bourbon?
Each bottle is drawn from one hand-selected barrel and bottled on its own rather than blended with others. Barton 1792 chooses barrels that show the line's high-rye spice at its fullest, and because every barrel is different, no two releases taste exactly alike.
How strong is it, and what size is the bottle?
It is bottled at 98.6 proof, which is 49.3% ABV, and comes in a standard 750 ml bottle. That strength gives it a bold, full-bodied character while still drinking comfortably neat or with a little water.
How is it different from 1792 Small Batch?
Both share the same high-rye 1792 mash bill and its spicy backbone. The Single Barrel is selected barrel by barrel for the fullest expression of that character, making it the step up in intensity for anyone who already enjoys the Small Batch.
How should the recipient drink it?
Start neat or with a splash of water to open up the caramel, vanilla and rye spice. A single ice cube in a whiskey glass softens the intensity without flattening the flavor, and it also makes a spicy, full-bodied Manhattan.
