Barton 1792 Distillery Debuts 1792 Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey and 1792 XV
Barton 1792 Distillery has introduced two new additions to its 1792 lineup: 1792 Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey and 1792 XV.
1792 Straight Rye:
1792 Straight Rye marks the first-ever straight rye expression from the brand.
To create 1792 Straight Rye, Barton 1792 Master Distiller Ross Cornelissen chose the brand’s signature bourbon yeast, introducing a subtle fruit-forward sweetness that balances the rye’s intensity. That foundation is further shaped by a globally sourced blend of rye grains from Canada, Europe, and the northern United States. Canadian rye contributes floral lift, northern U.S. grain delivers peppery spice, and European rye provides bready, herbal depth, resulting in a refined, multi-dimensional rye that anchors vibrant spice with aromatic elegance.
Bottled at 100 proof, 1792 Straight Rye is described as opening with aromas of “warm baking spices and spiced fruit jellies.” The palate exhibits “assertive rye spice, cinnamon candy, and rich molasses.” The finish is “long and structured, marked by lingering mulling spices and gentle sweet oak.”
1792 Straight Rye is set to be released annually and is available now in select markets for a suggested retail price of $39.99 per 750 mL bottle.
1792 XV:
1792 XV is the oldest age-stated bourbon in the 1792 portfolio and the brand’s inaugural cask strength offering.
After resting in virgin charred American white oak barrels for 15 years, the uncut and unfiltered 1792 XV was bottled at 124.2 proof (62.1% ABV).
1792 XV is described as having aromas of “sweet cola, leather, and vanilla extract.” The palate exhibits notes of “dark cherries and cocoa.” It finishes with “rich oak and dark caramel.”
1792 XV is presented in an elongated 1 liter glass bottle with the brand’s signature oversized, flat-topped gold stopper. The expression is available now via Global Travel Retail at select airports including Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and South Korea’s Incheon International Airport (ICN) for a suggested retail price of $249.99.
