ABOUT BARTON 1792

Established in 1879, the Barton 1792 Distillery is the oldest fully operating distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. It was named after the year Kentucky joined the union as the 15th US State.

Situated on a scenic 196-acre site, the distillery features 29 barrel-aging warehouses and the historic Tom Moore Spring, which supplies limestone-filtered water for whiskey production.

Owned by the Sazerac Company (who also owns Buffalo Trace) since 2009, the facility has a rich heritage, including operating with a medicinal license through Prohibition and rebuilding after a WWII-era fire

ABOUT ROSS CORNELISSEN

Ross is the Master Distiller at the Barton 1792 Distillery, a role he has held since August 2022,, where he oversees grain-to-bottling operations, aging warehouse conditions, quality control, and special experimental expressions (such as cask finishes, the Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, and the 1792 XV release). Prior to joining the distillery, Ross was the Fermentation & Distillation Manager at MGP in Lawrenceburg IN and has held numerous positions for companies outside the industry. Ross is a husband and a dad, and as a kid, wanted to make cereal, all of which clearly set him up to be the highly regarded and respected Master Distiller he is today.
