Heritage
This exclusive two-bottle bundle brings together two distinct expressions from the renowned Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. Known for pushing the boundaries of bourbon while honoring time-tested traditions, 1792 offers whiskey lovers a chance to experience both innovation and heritage in one collection.
The 1792 Cognac Cask Finish showcases the distillery’s creativity with secondary maturation. Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is finished in carefully selected Cognac casks, adding layers of fruit, spice, and elegance while maintaining the bold structure that defines 1792. It is a release that highlights how classic bourbon character can harmonize with the refinement of French oak and Cognac influence, resulting in a whiskey that feels both familiar and unique.

This expression is a celebration of classic bourbon standards, delivering the bold, full-bodied character that fans of 1792 prize.
Together, these two 750 mL bottles form a bundle that balances modern experimentation with historical integrity. Collectors will appreciate the rarity of the Cognac Cask Finish alongside the timeless authority of Bottled in Bond, while enthusiasts will value the opportunity to compare two distinct sides of the same iconic distillery. Limited availability makes this set a must-have for anyone looking to deepen their appreciation of 1792’s craftsmanship.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes
The 1792 Cognac Cask Finish begins with a nose that blends bold Kentucky bourbon character with elegant fruit notes from its time in French Cognac casks. Aromas of dried apricot, honey, and toasted oak rise first, followed by hints of spice and vanilla. On the palate, it offers a refined interplay of caramel, raisin, and nutmeg, balanced by subtle grape sweetness that softens its oak backbone. The finish is long and rounded, with lingering notes of fruit, oak, and gentle spice.
The 1792 Bottled in Bond is a classic expression of American whiskey tradition, opening with aromas of corn sweetness, vanilla, and charred oak. Its palate delivers bold layers of toffee, spice, and toasted grain, structured by its 100-proof strength. The texture is full-bodied and robust, with a finish that emphasizes seasoned oak, cinnamon, and caramelized sugar, leaving a lasting impression of strength and heritage.
Food Pairings
Together, these two bourbons offer pairing versatility across a full meal. The Cognac Cask Finish pairs beautifully with roasted duck or pork tenderloin glazed with fruit compote, where the subtle grape and honey notes echo the dish’s sweetness. It also elevates creamy cheeses like brie or camembert, enhancing its fruit-driven elegance. The Bottled in Bond, bolder and more traditional, pairs best with hearty dishes such as grilled steak or barbecue ribs, its spice and oak structure amplifying smoky, savory flavors. Strong cheeses like aged cheddar or manchego deepen its robust profile, while desserts like pecan pie or dark chocolate brownies resonate with its caramel and spice-laden finish.
