1792 Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a 100-proof straight rye from Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, marking the brand's first-ever rye release. It's crafted from rye grain sourced across three regions — Canada, Europe, and the northern United States — then fermented with 1792's signature bourbon yeast for a spicy yet fruit-forward profile that's distinct from typical high-rye whiskeys.

Barton 1792 Distillery has built its reputation on bourbon, but this rye shows the same attention to detail the brand is known for. Master Distiller Ross Cornelissen took an unusual approach, blending rye from three different growing regions and fermenting with the house bourbon yeast instead of a neutral strain, giving this whiskey a layered character that stands apart from the pack.
