1792 Sweet Wheat Bourbon

Sweet Wheat is the one 1792 that doesn't taste like 1792 — and Breaking Bourbon calls it one of the rare exceptions in the lineup, a sweet-forward sipping experience that delivers a very satisfying pour. Everything else Barton makes under the 1792 name uses the distillery's high-rye mash bill, which gives the brand its signature spice. Sweet Wheat swaps the rye for wheat, putting it in the same family as Maker's Mark and Weller: softer, rounder, and sweeter, with the grain's gentle bread-like character in place of pepper. It's made at the Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky — the oldest operating distillery in the town, running since 1879 and now part of Sazerac — and bottled at 91.1 proof. Expect caramel, honey, vanilla, and fresh-baked bread on the nose with a whisper of oak, opening into a soft, creamy palate of butterscotch, toffee, light cinnamon, and a gentle wheat sweetness with almost no burn, finishing smooth and mellow. Honest note: Sweet Wheat has been released as a limited annual bottling rather than a year-round product, so availability comes and goes, and when it lands it goes fast. For drinkers who love the wheated style but find the famous allocated names impossible to buy, this is one of the most accessible wheaters Kentucky makes. Sip it neat or over one cube — it doesn't need anything else.
