The Barton 1792 Distillery has a long history in the bourbon industry, dating back to 1879 when it was initially established as the Tom Moore Distillery. The distillery underwent various changes over the years and was officially named Barton 1792 Distillery in 2009, commemorating the year Kentucky joined the United States.
Bourbon Production: The 1792 Sweet Wheat Bourbon is part of the distillery's range. As a Kentucky Straight Bourbon, it adheres to strict regulations, including being aged for at least four years in new charred oak barrels. The term "Sweet Wheat" suggests a mash bill that includes a higher proportion of wheat, contributing to a potentially sweeter and softer flavor profile compared to bourbons with higher rye content.
Ownership: The Barton 1792 Distillery is currently owned by the Sazerac Company, a well-known spirits company with a diverse portfolio of brands.
