Three bourbons from Barton 1792 Distillery received top honors at the 2015 New York World Wine & Spirits Competition, with two receiving gold medals and one receiving double gold. 1792 Small Batch Bourbon was awarded double gold, and 1792 Sweet Wheat and Kentucky Tavern each won gold medals.
“We feel very humbled and pleased by the recognition each of these bourbons received,” says Ken Pierce, director of distillation and quality assurance. “We face many tough competitors from around the world at the NYWWSC and feel honored to have been judged so highly.”
The New York World Wine & Spirits Competition is one of the largest competitions for the retail beverage industry and has attracted top professional judges from broad spectrum of expertise.
