1792 Ridgemont Reserve Barrel Select 8 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Lawsuit Bottle)

8 years. Barrel Select. 1792 Ridgemont Reserve — the “Lawsuit Bottle” from the pre-rebranding era of what is now simply called 1792 Bourbon from Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky.

The “Lawsuit Bottle” designation refers to the legal dispute over the 1792 name and “Ridgemont Reserve” branding that resulted in the eventual simplification of the label. Before the legal resolution and rebranding, bottles were produced with the “Ridgemont Reserve” designation — creating a specific era of 1792 production that is now collectible precisely because of its pre-controversy status.

The underlying bourbon is a barrel select expression from the 8-year tier of the Barton 1792 Distillery program in Bardstown — one of the most storied distillery sites in Kentucky bourbon history, operating continuously since 1879.
