PUBLISH DATE: January 15 2026

Northwest Arkansas bourbon hunters have a new bottle to track down.
Riverpointe Wine & Spirits has released a new store pick featuring 1792 Full Proof, bottled at a bold 125 proof from Barrel No. 1701.

Known for its intensity, structure, and full-bodied character, 1792 Full Proof has become a favorite among high-proof bourbon fans. Single barrel selections like this allow a retailer to highlight a specific barrel that stands out from the distillery’s broader profile—making each pick a one-of-a-kind experience.

Store Pick Details

• Brand: 1792 Full Proof
• Distillery: Barton 1792
• Proof: 125
• Barrel Number: 1701
• Style: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
• Selection Type: Single Barrel Store Pick

As with all Full Proof releases, this bourbon is bottled at the same proof it entered the barrel, preserving its natural strength and depth without dilution.

About Barton 1792 Distillery

Barton 1792 Distillery is one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in the United States, located in Bardstown, Kentucky—often referred to as the Bourbon Capital of the World.

Founded in 1879, the distillery has operated under several names over the decades, including the historic Tom Moore Distillery, before becoming Barton 1792. Today, it is owned by the Sazerac Company, which acquired Barton in 2009.

The 1792 Bourbon line is named after the year Kentucky became the 15th state and represents Barton’s premium portfolio. The distillery is particularly well regarded for its:

• Consistency across high-proof expressions
• Rich, oak-forward flavor profiles
• Ability to balance power with approachability

Why 1792 Full Proof Stands Out

1792 Full Proof gained national recognition after winning Best Bourbon at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, cementing its reputation as one of the standout high-proof bourbons on the market.

While individual barrels vary, enthusiasts often associate 1792 Full Proof with:

• Deep caramel and vanilla sweetness
• Dark oak and baking spice
• A viscous, oily mouthfeel
• A long, warming finish

Store picks like Barrel No. 1701 allow Riverpoint to showcase a barrel that best represents their palate and their customer base—making it especially appealing to drinkers who value flavor over hype.

Why This Pick Matters in Northwest Arkansas

Northwest Arkansas remains one of the most competitive bourbon markets in the region, driven by local demand and out-of-state traffic from nearby Missouri and Oklahoma. A 1792 Full Proof store pick is the kind of release that resonates with:

• Fans of barrel proof bourbon
• Single barrel collectors
• Drinkers looking for bold, well-selected picks

With limited availability and no two barrels alike, picks like this tend to move quickly once word gets out.

Final Thoughts

Riverpointe Wine & Spirits continues to play an important role in Northwest Arkansas’s bourbon scene, and their 1792 Full Proof – Barrel No. 1701 is a release that should be on the radar for anyone who enjoys powerful, full-flavored bourbon.

As always, availability is limited—once it’s gone, it’s gone.
