1792 Bourbon: Proof, Types, and Buying Guide

Updated May 2026.

1792 Small Batch is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown (Sazerac). US listings commonly print 93.7 proof / 46.85% ABV — about 1.17 NIAAA drinks per 1.5 ounces. Confirm the neck; we did not treat a Target tile as a TTB filing. The name marks the year Kentucky joined the Union, not an age statement. Mash-bill percentages are unpublished. We will not invent a 2026 MSRP.

Bottled in Bond and Full Proof are different SKUs (commonly 100 and 125 proof — read those necks). Related: 1792 vs Buffalo Trace, Buffalo Trace, bonded bourbon.

A 750 mL at 46.85% is about 19.8 drinks. Four Small Batch pours are about 4.7 drinks. NIAAA binge pattern is a health line, not a target. Pour math: whiskey drinks.
