Canadian rye brings floral character, northern U.S. rye contributes peppery spice, and European rye adds bready and herbal depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than using a neutral whiskey yeast, Barton 1792 ferments this expression with the brand's \u003cstrong\u003esignature bourbon yeast\u003c\/strong\u003e, introducing a subtle fruit-forward sweetness that balances the naturally spicy rye grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled at \u003cstrong\u003e100 proof\u003c\/strong\u003e, the whiskey delivers a structured combination of warm baking spice, fruit, cinnamon, molasses, and oak while maintaining enough sweetness to remain approachable for bourbon drinkers exploring rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm baking spices, spiced fruit jellies, floral rye, and subtle sweetness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Assertive rye spice, cinnamon candy, rich molasses, pepper, and gentle fruit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and structured with mulling spices, sweet oak, black pepper, and lingering cinnamon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1792 Kentucky Straight Rye represents an important expansion for a brand historically centered almost entirely on bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grain sourcing is particularly distinctive. Rather than relying on rye from one growing region, Barton combines rye from \u003cstrong\u003ethree geographic areas\u003c\/strong\u003e, using the different grain characteristics to create a more layered flavor profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of 1792's bourbon yeast adds another point of differentiation. According to Master Distiller Ross Cornelissen, the yeast contributes fruit-forward sweetness that helps integrate the spice, oak, and rye character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final \u003cstrong\u003e100-proof bottling strength\u003c\/strong\u003e was specifically chosen after maturation trials, with the distillery determining that this proof provided the best balance of rye spice, oak influence, and fermentation character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exact mash bill has not been publicly disclosed, keeping the focus on the combination of rye grain, yeast, maturation, and final proof rather than a specific recipe percentage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOUTHERN \/ AMERICAN \/ PACIFIC WINE \u0026 SPIRITS","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":67330063237485,"sku":null,"price":42.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0481\/8940\/7391\/files\/1792KentuckyStraightRyeWhiskey750mL.webp?v=1790379112","url":"https:\/\/artisan.wine\/products\/1792-kentucky-straight-rye-whiskey-750-ml","provider":"Artisan W\u0026S","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
