Ridgemont 1792 Full Proof Kentucky Straight

1792 Full Proof takes its name from the year Kentucky joined the United States—a choice reflecting the distillery's pride in its American heritage. The whisky is built on a high-rye recipe (75% corn, 15% rye, 10% malted barley) and bottled unfiltered and unproofed at full strength: 125 proof.

This Full Proof expression showcases the unvarnished power of Barton's house style. Vanilla, caramel, and citrus lead the nose, joined by oak and granite notes. On the palate, the rye backbone asserts itself with spice and floral character, while the high alcohol makes no apology for subtlety—this is a direct, full-bodied bourbon that lets all 125 proof points speak clearly.

The finish brings tobacco and leather forward, with lingering caramel and oak astringency. This is a bourbon for those who prize full flavor and force over smoothness.
