Flavor Profile Differences
Rye spice is the dividing line here.
- 1792 Small Batch: Barton's flagship and one of the most under-discussed bottles at its price. A high-rye character with cocoa and orange peel, and considerably more going on than the shelf position suggests.
- Zackariah Harris: A bottom-shelf Kentucky straight bourbon, mostly sold in liters and handles. Simple caramel and oak with a short, warm finish.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with 1792 Small Batch if you want an overlooked, spice-forward Kentucky bourbon that punches above its price with more proof behind it.
- Go with Zackariah Harris if you want a simple Kentucky bourbon for mixing at a lower price point.
Best enjoyed neat, rocks, old-fashioned (1792 Small Batch); highball, cocktails (Zackariah Harris).
