Barton Unveils 1792 Aged Twelve Years Limited Edition
Barton 1792 Distillery has unveiled its latest limited edition release, 1792 Aged Twelve Years. This new expression uses the same rye recipe as the flagship 1792 Small Batch Bourbon and is bottled at 96.6 proof (48.3% ABV). 1792 Aged Twelve Years joins other limited releases from 1792 such as High Rye, Sweet Wheat, Single Barrel, Port Finish, Full Proof and Bottled in Bond.
Master Distiller Danny Kahn describes the newest offering as, “Super-complex up front aromas. The first thing that hits the palate is a subtle but rich sweetness. It is full, slightly creamy, with a hint of pleasant spice that settles on the tongue. At the end, there is a touch of oaky smokiness that rounds out the aromas. The subtle smokiness of the oak married to the slightly spicy rye flavors and the complex aromas are a nod to what one should expect from a well-matured bourbon. Each time I take it in, I find more and more beautiful interactions!”
One batch of 1792 Aged Twelve Years will be released each summer, with the first batch available beginning this July at a suggested retail price of $49.99 for a 750 mL bottle.
