[@pieratorres4000]

Really enjoy all your videos. Very thorough and articulate ! Kudos on always doing a fantastic job. Cheers !!! 🥃

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. I have enjoyed producing these videos and I am happy to continue doing them. Cheers!

[@WhiskeyCurious]

That's pretty much how I'd describe the standard-shelf 1792, which I enjoy. Thanks for the review, cheers!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

The standard 1792 is a easy sipper at a very good price and it's always available. You have to like that. Cheers Lisa!

Nice review! My local store has it for 100.00 plus tax. Never tried it. Never seen port or high rye either. The 12yr is definitely a nice pour. I picked it up here in California for 55.00 bucks. I really enjoy the FP and the single barrel. I paid: Small batch 28.00 B in Bond 42.00 FP 52.00 Single barrel 60.00 FP store pick 65.00 All are great! Cheers!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

All good prices. Hopefully the 12 shows up eventually.

[@nickp5511]

@ maybe you’ll find it while doing a BBQ competition:)

[@whiskeyisajourney]

@nickp5511 this weekend we we're in Bullheaded City. 10 annual slab o ramma competition.

[@CGsYTChannel]

I just had a pour of this the other night. It's good, I do enjoy it. However, I always pick it up when I see it cuz one of my good friends loves this bottle. So I always have a bottle on hand for him!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

You are a good friend Carlos! Cheers.

J Mattingly started up again and now has a tasting building near Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky. When I was there the prices were $40, $60, and $120, and tasting for 6 samples cost $25. Their new bottles have an 1845 date on them. Two others to check out are Green River in Owensboro, reusing some 1885 buildings, and Glenn's Creek in Frankfort reusing the Old Crow Distillery building, OCD #5 is one of their bottles, the number 5 is for abandoned fermentation tank number 5 from the old distillery where they scooped up some old yeast spores to make their new bourbon.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

That is fantastic information. I appreciate you sharing all of that. Glenn's Creek is on my radar. Cheers!

[@DaveVogelsang-b8v]

Cheers Peter. I have all the 1792 except High Rye and Port Finish. I am in North Central Illinois. I can find the 1792 Full Proof, Single Barrel and BIB fairly easy. The Sweet Wheat and 12 Year show up 2-3 times a year. I picked up 2 bottles of the 12 Year for $48 each and 2 bottles of Sweet Wheat for $48 each about 4 months ago. 🥃

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Fantastic prices and you got yourself a good selection there.

[@OrangeTuxRad]

Damn it, Dave has all the goodies! I went vacation in NC this summer and snagged 3 SW from their ABC. The manager said no one touches it there.

[@GraigLeatherbury]

Central IN / Sporadically / $45 last time I bought / $90ish a week later at a different location

[@whiskeyisajourney]

That's not good from week to week. Same store different locations or different stores completely?

[@cashe3561]

I get Banana on all the 1792 (Barton's). Really like this distillery

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I like the banana note in this as well. I think that's why I like the JD bottles as well.

[@garylethbridge6220]

Another great review. Never seen it in my area. Just the regular 1792. But I rather high proof whiskey, like rare breed, of1920, kc120, jdsbbp. So it's hard to go back, to lower proof stuff. 1792 full proof isn't available.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

There's something about higher proof bottles that bring out flavors that lower proof offerings lack. Cheers!

[@jesusjones3014]

Definitely a sip for msrp!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Absolutely. Cheers!

[@nickp5511]

Banana maple is a nice note!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

That was a nice surprise at the end. Thanks for watching that far into the video. Cheers!

[@silvspeed2]

Seems like most of these offerings are annual releases, at least by me in New York. Very hard to get any of these, except the small batch, for a good price. Most shops have these releases marked up extremely high, especially the 12 year and Sweet Wheat. I saw the 12 year for srp at my local shop a few months ago, so I jumped on it. Never have seen the high rye or port finish around me.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I'm getting the feeling you're right with them being annual releases.

[@davidteller7681]

12 year hit my state for about 3 weeks in mid September

[@georgehoward8313]

Yo Peter. I enjoy the 1792 SW and you’re right the market floods with full proof and sweet wheat once a year. I’ve only seen the 12 year once and I jumped on it but haven’t cracked it until I get a back up. The whole line is very reasonable and decent tasting. Cheer’s 🥃

[@whiskeyisajourney]

When I see them hit the shelf I am impressed with the price. I figured they would be more based in the rarity of them. Hopefully the 12 will show up soon. Cheers!

[@andrettski8686]

Only had Small Batch, FP and a FP store pick which is fantastic. Only other one here are the SB's but are needles in a haystack so I've never got one. I shop in Oregon which is an msrp state.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

So no bottled in bond sightings. I think those are my favorite. We were up in Portland last year and visited bull run. Nice place.

[@andrettski8686]

@@whiskeyisajourney Bull Run does great things. I just saw online that one store in Portland has a 1792 BiB pick $45

[@michaeledwards4107]

Hey Peter, really like your channel. I live in Central Illinois and I’ve only seen FP and SIB, I grabbed both. I’m a fan of 1792. I paid $55 for FP and $50 for the single barrel.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

So it looks like you're in the same situation as other people. Prices are still looking pretty good though I wouldn't argue with a $50 price tag

[@therifftones2198]

I trust your judgement...gj

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Thanks! Cheers!

[@mattfalk8493]

Hay Peter.. yea haven't tried this one the only one I've seen down under is the 1972 Small Batch, I've always past by it the fancy bottle always puts me off, but it's only $90aud about 55sh Usd.. have you had the Small Batch if so thought's 🤷‍♂️... I'm Sipping the first bottle of the year from my Whisky Club at the moment catching up on all my WhiskyTube on a Friday night 'The Balvenie Single Malt, First Fill Cask Strength 12yr Single Barrel"... Cheers Peter Dram On 🥃🥃🥃

[@whiskeyisajourney]

The 1792 small batch is okay. I'd put it right there with Elijah Craig small batch and Knob Creek 9. It's an introductory bourbon nothing special, but easy sipping. Speaking of easy sipping bottles Balvenie fits the mold. Cheers!

[@durzagon88]

For 40 sweet wheat is pretty good for me, but seen it one time. The 12 year I really like but very hard to find.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I hope the 12 eventually shows up in my area. Until it does I eagerly wait. Cheers!

[@durzagon88]

@@whiskeyisajourney yup it is rarely oddly enough like the sweet wheat I got the 12 for msrp at a bottle drop. In FL you dont see em at all.

[@bobmahood5791]

Haven't tried wheated bourbons yet. But re: Barton's 1792, have you tried Costco liquors? I got a bottle of their Signature brand Kentucky bourbon once. It was a 1.5 liter made by Barton's for about $25 and was surprisingly good. I have seen a single barrel by Barton's there and I think it was under $30.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I haven't had a Costco brand yet. I've seen some reviews and people seem to like it. I just haven't gotten around to tasting it.

[@bobmahood5791]

Correction, it is Kirkland brand, and mine was 1 liter.

[@dominiccampos7297]

I'm in CA Central Coast. I can find 1792 small batch, Single, BOB, and Full proff easy. All at a very reasonable price/MSRP. Also can find store pick's farily easiy. Sweet wheat and 12 year little harder to come by with some mixed results. If secondary liquor store. say around 80-90. Though I go to a store that will commbo them with another bottle. Bottle by itself would make it MSRP and the other bottle usually is a good/decent one. Example a 12 year and a Elijah craig store pick for 140 or Sweat wheat plus a elijah craig store pick for 140. Never seen the High Rye or port finish

[@whiskeyisajourney]

How are you doing with the fires over there? Hope all is well. Cheers!

[@dominiccampos7297]

@@whiskeyisajourney luckily I'm a good distance away but it's really bad.

[@tbryant2002]

you described this way better than I had. I must have had a terrible bottle lol. I found green river wheat, both bardstown wheaters, weller sr all being better. Im a big fan of all other 1792 but the sweet wheat was my least fav. and for clarification I do love wheaters.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

It's a different tasting wheated bourbon than the others you mentioned. I have to taste them all together to be sure, but I think I like all of them more as well.

[@tbryant2002]

@whiskeyisajourney it's different..not bad but you are right. Hard to compare some things to others. Great channel is love it

[@javieracosta3439]

Snapped a couple up at $36 here in Connecticut late 2023 or early 2024. One went to a friend. I should have given him both bottles as this extention of 1792 does not work for me. So glad I didnt fomo into overpaying just to have one in the past. Will be a skip in the future. Cheers Peter.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

It's nice you got them at such a good price. Bummer they were not to your liking. Cheers!

[@chrisdunning5481]

1792 is hit and miss in Nor Cal. TW always has the small batch. I have been able to get store pick Full Proof selections pretty regularly for $60-$70. They are usually awesome. There has been a lot of hype on the Sweet Wheat but I have never had one. I am a proof hound so the proof is a bit lower than I would hunt. Overall I think Barton puts out solid products. Just nothing I seek out.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I think I am more impressed with the coast of the bottles for something that is so hard to find at certain times of the year. I would think the asking price would be higher. Cheers!

[@Oggi7777]

I tried this the other day…same stuff…same same.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Cheers!

I wasn't impressed I do enjoy wheaters.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

There's something a little different about this one. I can't quite put my finger on it.
