1792 Ridgemont Reserve is a Kentucky straight Bourbon whiskey produced by the Barton Brands Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. The brand and distillery are owned by the Sazerac Company.[1] It is part of a line of small-batch bourbons aimed at the high-end liquor market.
It is aged for 8 years. It is 93.7 proof (46.85% content of alcohol). The name of the bourbon is a reference to the year Kentucky became a state. 1792 is the Official Toasting Bourbon of the Kentucky Bourbon Festival. This bourbon is positioned as a super-premium one,[2] and the pricing policy makes it a competitor to Knob Creek or Woodford Reserve. This reflects the general trend in bourbon production, resulting from competition with single malt whisky,[3] which makes small batch bourbons a big business.[4]
