1792 225th Anniversary Kentucky Straight Bourbon

A limited edition release from Barton 1792 Distillery commemorating the 225th anniversary of Kentucky statehood — hand-selected small batch from the distillery that took its name from that founding year.

1792 is the year Kentucky achieved statehood, and the Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown named itself in honor of that founding moment in American bourbon history. The 225th Anniversary release marks 225 years from that milestone — a historically documented commemorative bourbon from a distillery whose name is itself a tribute to Kentucky's origins.

The 225th Anniversary is a hand-selected small batch — a limited one-time edition above the standard 1792 lineup. As with all commemorative limited editions, once the production run is exhausted, the specific expression cannot be reproduced.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich caramel and vanilla with warm oak — the 1792 high-rye character at small batch concentration.
• Palate: Rich and sweet with oaky depth — caramel, brown sugar, and the 1792 grain spice in a more concentrated small batch expression.
• Finish: Long and warm with the characteristic 1792 spice persisting through a satisfying close.
