Sensory Tasting Notes
The Nose
Butterscotch and wood smoke lead, with French vanilla, caramel, and a mild ethanol tingle that softens as the glass opens.
The Palate
Full-bodied and rich, carrying toffee, dark cherry, and a bold, developing oak note; noticeably deeper and more tannic than the standard Small Batch given the extra four years of barrel time.
The Finish
Medium length, closing on candied pecan, oak, and a lingering toffee sweetness with more dryness than the flagship release.
The Heritage
1792 12 Year returned a genuine double-digit age statement to a brand largely built on non-age-stated releases, arriving in 2019 as part of a broader industry trend of distilleries reintroducing age transparency after years of NAS-only bottlings. Because Barton releases it just once annually in a single batch, and because twelve-year bourbon stocks across Kentucky have tightened industry-wide, it has become one of the more consistently allocated bottles in the entire 1792 portfolio, trading well above its original retail price on the secondary market once each year’s release sells through.
