Small Talk: 1792

[@michaelwellstead13]

I’ve only had bottled in bond and I enjoy it very much. Never seen any of the others in the wild where I’ve looked. But I’ve really only hunted in Columbus.

In 2018 Barton 1792 had a warehouse collapse. That might be what you're referring to.

That’s right! I knew it was something. And I just assumed fire since that’s what normally happens. You don’t hear about them collapsing often or ever. Thank you for the correction.

You had mentioned one of their bottles had twine wrapped around the neck. One of their discontinued bottles, 1792 Ridgemont Reserve, had off-white twine. That's been out of production for a number of years now. I've never seen it on a shelf, only pictures. You must have been in the hobby a while to see that around. How long you been in the hobby? I think the only other 1792 that you're missing from the core lineup is the Single Barrel. That one has an off-white paper neck wrapper and comes in both non-store pick as well as store pick, at 98.6 proof. (I've had the non-store pick Single Barrel and it drank hot. I do have two of the store pick Single Barrels but haven't opened them yet.)

Hey thank you. I do not think I’ve seen them in the wild. Only in pictures as well. I think I purchased my first bottle of Blanton’s and Rockhill Farms when they were collecting dust around 2015/2016 I believe. And then started to get out of control around 2020. How about you. How long have you been into this?
