1792 Cognac Cask Finish Bourbon

The 1792 Cognac Cask Finish Bourbon is a masterful union of Kentucky boldness and French refinement. Produced by Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, this limited release elevates traditional bourbon by finishing it in authentic French Cognac casks.

Each barrel of 1792 bourbon is first matured in new American oak before resting in used Cognac barrels from France, creating a whiskey with exceptional depth and character. The result is a bourbon that beautifully balances rich caramel and vanilla with velvety fruit and spice notes from the Cognac finish.

On the nose, you’ll detect toffee, dried fruit, and toasted oak. The palate opens with smooth caramel and butterscotch, followed by hints of raisin, plum, and soft tannins. The finish is long and elegant — a seamless blend of Kentucky bourbon sweetness and French luxury.

Now available at worldofwhiskeysale.com, this small-batch gem is one of the most refined expressions in the 1792 limited cask series.
