Updated March 2026.
There is no official “best 1792.” The line is Kentucky straight bourbon from Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown (Sazerac). The name marks 1792 — the year Kentucky joined the Union — not an age statement. Small Batch US listings commonly print 93.7 proof (46.85% ABV), the brand homepage fetched omitted ABV. A 1.5-ounce pour at 46.85% is about 1.17 NIAAA drinks. No invented mash % or 2026 MSRP.

What we can cite
| SKU | What we can cite | 1.5 oz drinks |
|---|---|---|
| Small Batch | 93.7 / 46.85% on US listings | ~1.17 |
| Bottled in Bond | 100 if the label is BiB (27 CFR 5.88) | 1.25 |
| Full Proof | Often 125 — confirm the neck | 1.56 if 125 |
| Sweet Wheat / Single Barrel / 12 | Different bottles — read the neck | From labeled ABV |
A 750 mL at 46.85% is about 20 drinks. Four Small Batch pours are about 4.7 drinks. NIAAA binge pattern is a health line, not a target. Pour math: whiskey drinks.
